I was reading an article this week on the GallupOrganisation. After reviewing 25 years of data, they found the following 12 elements areindicative of a strong workplace:
· Knows what is expected.
· Has the opportunity to use talents everyday.
· Has the necessary materials and equipment.
· Has received recognition or praise for goodwork during last seven days.
· Someone cares at a personal level.
· Someone encourages personal development.
· Opinions seem to count.
· Work feels important to the organization’smission/purpose.
· Co-workers are committed to doing qualitywork.
· Has a best friend at work.
· Has talked with someone about own progressduring last six months.
· Has had opportunities to learn and grow.
How are you doing on these 12? What do you need to change within your organisation?
