Have you already thought about resolutions for the new year? More exercise, more time for yourself, more time for friends, less sweets, ... these are the typical suspects.
We have also made a resolution for this year - more humanity. In order to focus more on this in everyday life, there is a campaign every month for more #praise #self-reflection #honesty #sayingthankyou #appreciation #tolerance #empathy
Of course, one action is not enough. But what exactly do we mean by humanity in the workplace?
In principle, it's simple - it's about the little things that make the working day more pleasant: making a colleague a coffee, bringing the printed material, holding the door open or simply saying thank you.
Respectful interaction creates a feel-good culture at work. And this in turn promotes fun at work. It creates a relaxed atmosphere in which mutual taunts and jokes are allowed, mistakes can be made and people can be human.
Being human also includes a certain amount of empathy and self-reflection. This does not mean that you have to be extremely emotional and self-critical, but rather that you should be considerate of colleagues' difficult situations and offer them help.
In this sense, you should also question your own behavior more often and not assume that you assess everything correctly and do everything right.
Last but not least, it is also important to show genuine interest in your colleagues. So put your smartphone away during your lunch break and actively talk to the people around you. This way we also learn more about our colleagues, which makes working together easier and more enjoyable.
#staytuned for our further humanity actions in 2019
