Mental health, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-belief, commitment, engagement, enthusiasm, motivation, inspiration – all lovely words expressing sentiments that every business wants to see flourishing in every employee.
The common factor is they are all emotional states of mind, realizable only by the individual. Employers can only cultivate a culture that encourages such emotions to flourish and blossom productively.
Such a culture recognizes and supports respecting the dignity of the individual. It seeks to satisfy individual desires to creatively express personal talents, passions and potential in ways that harmonise (different to duplicate) personal and corporate needs.
Get it wrong and people will soon be flocking to your door - the exit door.
