OK, so we (hopefully) agree that the majority of us want to work, but what kind of work do we aspire to? According to Gardner, Csikszentmihalyi and Damon, we are all craving high quality work that means something to us and has value in society. Will we be great accountants, adding value to our clients and helping their long-term plans, or just do enough to keep the regulators from the door. Will we treat customers with respect or will the drive to cut costs, cut corners and cut delivery to the bone, lead us to non-good work?

How involved are your staff?
Are they proud of working with your organisation? Do they speak positively about your services and products? Will they go the extra mile for you and your customers? In Involved Employees we look at what gets in the way of people thriving on their work and how to fix this. Get involved at involved employees.com or contact us at involved@ergoclear.com
