The Working Week 124: Let’s be Positive!
In tough times, it’s easy for a workplace to slip into negativity. But how do you create a positive workforce in negative times? That’s the question Wayne poses in this week’s show as he talks to Liz Jazweic, author of Eat that Cookie and a passionate advocate of the benefits of good employee morale.
As Liz explains, work can be tough enough without the negative things you and your staff members do making it even tougher. So, for example, a manger saying “thanks” for a job well done can make all the difference – but only if people are open to receiving a complement and don’t hide behind a wall of false modesty or the sort of “victim thinking” that can be so destructive.
