Empathy Fosters a Workplace culture of Inclusiveness & Belonging

Image
Before you criticize, judge, or condemn that staff or issue out the PIP document, please, first consider any of these possibilities: Could this person be a victim of their past experiences which has shaped their present behaviour? Could they be experiencing job burnout due to an enormous workload and ambiguous performance delivery expectations from their employer? Are they having personal challenges that may be affecting their performance on the job? Can these behaviours be managed or unlearned? Is your workplace building a culture of trust to foster for an employee experience of openness and belonging which is required for them to thrive? Have you provided adequate work tools for them to be efficient on their job? Are the goals of the organisation communicated in clear terms and language?

Being content with the STATUS QUO can be damaging to one's life

 Quick Question 🤔 Are you awake to your environment, or slugging through life without equipping yourself to embrace and align with the changes that presents itself?  Being satisfied with status quo leads to a perpetual stagnation of all things progressive. Status quo is a Latin word for existing state Ponder on this, 💡 The state of things in recent times has laid more credence to the fact that change is the only constant thing in life. Nothing is permanent because the world is constantly evolving and only those with a higher purposeful mindset would survive the turbulences that would continuously prevail Asking these self-examination questions could help to measure your current position in the scheme of things:👇 Do I detest change? Am I constantly trying to develop and upskill myself?   Am I afraid of standing alone and be unpopular for my stance when I know I am right? Do I suck up to my bosses / people and sing their praises even when I know they are wrong? Am ...

ORIGINALITY would always stand the test of time

Image
 Be your authentic self, Stop FAKING it !!! Originality would take you far in life. Fake life would only bring ruins in the short or long run. One smart fox would sniff out the scent of fakeness soon and there the journey to a downward spiral begins. Imagine having gone so far in life only for your fakeness to be discovered. Oops! Not a good end, right? Should you fall under the category of those who have falsified their age, lied about work experiences on their CV, provided wrong information to the employer just to get the job, did not tell the truth about any health challenges, provided a falsified educational certificate, and used all other fake paraphernalia just to get ahead in life, you are living a fake life. You know yourself. The  time is now to right your missteps and come clean before it gets too late. Be Warned! This post is composed borne out of my experiences as a recruiter and a HR practitioner. I have seen all sorts. Trust me. https://bit.ly/LinkedinshareFR

What Frequency Wavelength is your Mind tuned? I am putting out this post to uplift someone's spirit and to re-awaken our beings to the power of self actualisation. Not sure if it is a motivational, however, if it achieves the purpose of which it was meant for, then, feel free to tag it in any form that resonates with you.   The mind is like a radio frequency and the wavelength it is tuned to shapes the thoughts. As humans, the mind is the most powerful tool of our being and, therefore, needs to be protected at all cost. The universe only rewards positive thoughts with successful outcomes.  I f what you hear is sad news, you will become depressed and anxious. However, if you hear good news, your spirit is lifted with hope   Little wonder the holy book recommends guarding our thoughts.   How to develop your mind for success   📍 Stop thinking of taking revenge 📍 Be kind. Don't be self centered 📍 Show empathy 📍 Shut out any form of negativi...
