基本2: 社区和联系
The next well-being essential focuses on our human need for both communication and connection in the workplace. For us to belong, we need to feel accepted and valued. 这为我们提供了舒适和安全. When we feel the support of our colleagues, 我们的思想可以更放松, which allows us to contribute more openly and effectively in our roles.
According to the Surgeon General’s report, t在这里 are three primary components to supporting this essential. These things need to happen for a community with authentic employee connections to thrive:
- 培养信任关系.
- 促进协作和团队合作.
- 创造一种包容的文化.
So, how do we begin to work towards or strengthen these (perhaps) existing elements in our workplaces? 让我们来分析一下.
It does not require a large budget or fancy incentives to build a strong, 包容的社会, but it does require active participation from all team members.
Ways to Implement in Your Workplace – Essential 2 – Community and Connection
Building trust absolutely requires the presence of psychological safety. (This need will show up repeatedly when talking about well-being.) It’s important for all team members to actively practice creating this safe space on your team.
注意事项:
- 不 miss opportunities to discuss your own insecurities and challenges with your colleagues. Being vulnerable will support others’ ability to trust you and encourage that same type of sharing.
- Do feel empowered to address behavior (seen or heard) that does not align with cultivating trust. Ask your manager or leader to clarify what is/is not acceptable team behaviors, so that individuals have guidance on what to do/not to do. 可能是缺乏意识.
- Do 号召积极的行为和行动. 承认努力并表达感激之情. 一开始可能会让人们措手不及, but it provides an opportunity for a stronger connection between others, 哪一个会开始加强信任.
Collaborating is working with others to produce something. Doing things together and reaching common goals will naturally create a community. To do this successfully, we need to be able to communicate. 如果我们不沟通, 那我们就不是真正的合作, and communicating is so much more than just talking.
注意事项:
- Do 认真倾听别人在说什么. Repeat it back to them to ensure clarity if necessary, and explain you are doing so to make sure you understand their perspective. 如果需要的话，把事情写下来.
- 不 provide unnecessary details or try to impress others when sharing or explaining. 具体而有意. Your talent will shine in other ways, trust me.
- Do 三思而后言. 你在和谁说话很重要. Take the extra moment to consider the audience and situation, before you proceed. The effort will be well worth your time when working in a team.
- 不 流言蜚语. 我知道这很难. We get triggered, we get annoyed and it’s a release to vent to colleagues about others. 然而，这对团队来说是有害的. Practice being transparent and open and addressing conflicts or situations directly, 而不是在幕后谈论他们.
The concept of culture sometimes feels very high level. It can be difficult to think that we, as individuals, can impact an organization’s culture. 但我们绝对可以, and by actively practicing prosocial behavior (acting in a way that benefits others), we welcome inclusivity into our culture with open arms. Even focusing on an act as simple as cooperation.
注意事项:
- Do understand the difference between collaboration and cooperation. 两者都支持积极文化, 但合作的重点是共同的目标, while cooperation encourages helping others meet their goals. 但这是双赢的. The ROI of cooperating is expanding our own horizons, 学习不同的观点, and improving our performance and creativity.
- Do take the initiative by creating a guideline for cooperating on your team. Put together tactics that people could look at to help navigate a situation, to support a more inclusive experience and outcome for those involved.
- Do 你不一定理解的事情. You will learn in the process and maybe even see the value.
- 不 忘记展示合作. Show others how it is done through your words and actions. Take advantage of situations w在这里 you can provide unsolicited assistance.
- Do provide options and choices for others to consider. 分享你对他们目标的看法.
