Organization consists of people. The goal of any organization is that the people who work in it will come with joy and enthusiasm to work, feel committed and connected to the vision and goals of the organization and will provide the maximum of their abilities and skills in order for the organization to succeed.
What is the spice that helps all this happen? The connection. The connection between people and organization, the connection between personal strengths and organizational strengths, the connection between values and cultures, the connection between managers and employees, the connection between enthusiasm and tasks, the connection between meaning and action.
From the time we are born, we connect and belong to the community, to the family, to a group that has values, culture, energy, and common goals. In the modern era, when the individual and the competition have developed, people are feeling lonelier and more depressed, and they are increasingly seeking to belong to communities and groups where they will receive support, partnership and growth.
In the past, work was only a source of income. Today, work is a place where the individual tries to combine income and security with meaning and pleasure. People are more concerned with well-being and are looking for ways to enrich their lives and live fully. Even in the workplace, people who feel a sense of belonging and commitment will invest more in their role and will benefit the organization more.
How do we create a connection in an organization?
Connection is possible when people are involved in organizational activity and meaning. The more employees and managers will be allowed to be a significant part of the organization, to use their influence cycle, the more energy we generate in the organization. Enthusiasm gives us strength and a desire to create and do. Every task becomes easier and more enjoyable when we do it with joy and contentment. It is known that when a person receives a positive assessment from the environment and feels significant and necessary, it strengthens him and motivates him to do. Improvement teams, community projects, employee teams that initiate and lead changes, encourage initiatives and creativity are part of the solutions that help the organization to strengthen and preserve its human capital. Many studies conducted in recent years prove that a person who acts with meaning and joy, believes in himself and his abilities, gives more of himself and therefore achieves better results.
