HOW EMPLOYEES FEEL AT WORK MATTERS
It's sad, really, how a negative workplace can impact our lives and the way we feel about ourselves. The situation is reaching pandemic heights - most people go to work at jobs they dislike, supervised by people who don't care about them, and directed by senior leaders who are often clueless about where to take the company.

Happiness does not depend upon who you are or what you have. It depends solely upon what you think.

We want to drive impact. We want to find purpose in our work. If we don’t feel as if we are making a difference, we have a feeling of emptiness.
Finding a sense of purpose in work and its impact is an important measure of team effectiveness and individual employee engagement. The results of one’s work, the subjective judgement that your work is making a difference, is important for teams. Seeing that one’s work is contributing to the organization’s goals can help reveal impact.
The meaning of work is personal and can vary: financial security, supporting family, helping the team succeed, or self-expression for each individual, for example.
A feeling of sadness reveals employee disengagement. Leveraging Xpand Culture’s real-time feedback, managers will quickly see the team member is disengaged and can respond by engaging the employee’s strengths and identifying the team member’s motivation.
