Episode 181: Do I matter at work?

Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Android Devices | RSS

In Our Conversation Today, We’re Exploring:

• The difference between doing work that matters and feeling like you matter in your workplace

• Why doing work that matters doesn’t guarantee the work will matter to you personally

• How inclusion, belonging, dignity, integrity, and meaning factor into your team feeling like they matter

• The steps you can take as a leader to make those in your organization feel like they matter

What if I, as an employee, feel like I don’t matter?

As a leader who wants their team to feel like they matter, how do I create an environment that fosters that feeling?

This episode was inspired by not only our clients who ask us these types of questions on a regular basis, but also by a GQ interview with a member of the band Blink 182 and recommendations from the U.S. Surgeon General about workplace wellbeing.

Take a listen to this week’s episode to discover why that GQ interview stood out, the five elements the Surgeon General says we need for wellbeing in the workplace, and our answers to the two questions above.

Resources we mention in this episode:

• Layoff First Aid Kit

• The U.S. Surgeon General’s Framework for Workplace Mental Health & Well-Being

• IHI Framework for Improving Joy in Work

• The Mattering Movement

• GQ Interview with Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus | Well I Guess This Is Growing Up
