How is the health of your Workplace Culture?

Share Post:

My entire life, I have been a part of cultures. Most of these cultures were all about wins and losses and, thus, not the healthiest. Getting into the corporate world, I began to see how similar the cultures actually were. As I researched and studied these and other cultures, a pattern emerged.

Most businesses consist of providing a product or service. The people within that culture are brought in because they have work or personal experience that allows them to support the business. The issue is that few know how to build a strong and healthy culture; some don’t know how to contribute to a healthy culture. And others prefer to live in an unhealthy culture because it is easier to follow the crowd.

I decided to do some research based on what we see here at I Got Mind when we work with workplaces, and I must warn you some of what is below is happening within your culture. The good news is cultures can be redefined and developed. If you identify any of the issues below in your culture, click the button at the bottom of the page to learn more about how we can help you develop a culture that addresses the issues within the statistics below. 

So, I guess I’ll start with why I’m taking the Success Strategies Program. Before the pandemic, my career motivation has been dismal at best. I’ve been in the same role at work for five years now. I feel drastically underused and underappreciated. Work is too easy and provides little to no challenge for me. Instead of being grateful for my cushy job, I feel burdened and guilty. I feel like I am not doing enough, I’m not contributing enough, I could be doing more, etc. I’m the former star player who is now on the 4th line just collecting a paycheque.      

The boredom has caused me to lose focus. I sleep in, miss meetings, don’t cold call. I am often distracted by social media, women, Amazon, you name it. I envy the younger guys that I meet out in the trade. They are motivated and hungry. They have that fire I used to have.  

The pandemic has only exacerbated these feelings. I work less and now, thanks to Covid, have a full-blown excuse for it. Instead of admitting to my shortcomings, now I get to chalk it up to Covid.  

I sought out Bob because I want ownership back of my life. I want to feel like I am in control again. Like I am the master of my destiny. I have sat on the successes of yesterday too long and I want that fire back. I want my motivation back to go out and live to the fullest. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.
