Using LOVE to connect
On Friday, HuWork is hosting a round table on Coffee and Conversation: Make Work More Human, to explore what it takes to be a more human-centered organization. We’ll talk about behaviors and practices that are going well in your organization, and things that you’d like to see changed. If you are interested, sign up ASAP as we only have 3 more spots available.
One tenet of being more human at work involves an emotion people don’t always associate with work: LOVE. By love, I’m referring to our underlying motivation and sense of connection with other human-beings at work. I translate this LOVE at work into three core values: SERVE, LEARN, and CONNECT:
SERVE: This is about our mindset: How can I come from a place of service vs. my own agenda?
LEARN: How would learning something, whether it’s from books, articles, or conversations, increase the value and experience I can provide to others? What can I share with others to spread the love and ease their path? Can I make an introduction or share a resource?
CONNECT: How can I build a more H2H or human-to-human connection with everyone, even people at work? How can I look beyond the task and focus on building a meaningful, reciprocal relationship?
I invite you to take HuWork’s Human Factor Assessment to highlight the areas where you and your company are shining and think about changes to consider putting in place – whether you are working as a people manager, an individual contributor, or influencing change as an HR leader or consultant.
Warmly,
Bijal
