FACING THE BIG 3-0 AND FINALLY ENGAGED! by Tracie Austin I know what you´re thinking: At age 30, I sound desperate to get married. What I mean is I am now fully engaged in my WORK. At last, after more than a decade in various work environments, I am truly connected to a job position. WOW! What a feeling. I am on the right path and I´m on my way to gleefully living on purpose. Why didn´t this happen sooner? Think of the costs and the time and money that could have been saved, not only for me but for the organizations that have employed me over the years. Why has it taken so long? Why have I been unhappy and unfulfilled in job roles and work environments? There is a range of answers to that question—all accurate accounts and all different. In some positions , I pursued a particular career because I was educated in that field. I thought that would be perfect. I was wrong. In some jobs, workplace communication was nonexistent; I found it challenging to connect with the job, the management, and my fellow staff members. The disconnection was due to a lack of communication on all levels of the organization. In one position where I was very successful, my personality and personal style clashed with the job style. It was a daily struggle. You may be thinking that I sound like a difficult employee who cannot follow rules and procedures. Let me assure you I can and did for many years, but I was not content or engaged in those positions. Does that sound familiar? You may have experienced a similar occurrence over the years or perhaps you know of someone who has. If it is so common, why does it keep happening? What are the reasons? Here are some of the causative factors I have experienced.
And the list goes on. CRG has developed resources and training tools that allow you to make a difference by empowering you to break your negative patterns. We help people and organizations adopt practices that can change the workplace from an unexciting, sometimes stressful environment to a space where employees feel connected, energized, and engaged in their purpose. CRG can help provide individuals and organizations with training in the following areas.
The key to happiness in the workplace is not a simple one-word answer. It´s a complete package—a holistic approach.
You also need to find your passion. When organizations have specific practices in place and the total well-being of staff is a priority, the chances of success in matching people to their jobs are that much greater. Loving what you do is so important. Why wait to become engaged? Get on the right path today and empower others to do the same. |
