Job Fulfilment = Performance + Productivity = Profitability

For most people, work is an important part of their lives. Work can give people a sense of fulfilment, structure, identity and belonging if in the right role. Many employees find work defines their lives and heavily influences their lifestyle.

But, equally, job boredom can be a source of dissatisfaction, frustration and disengagement if it is allowed to be so.

"Productivity explodes when people love what they do."
Po Bronson, What Should I Do With My Life

Ideally employees should take responsibility for their own career paths and futures. But let's face it, how many really do? Sometimes people know what they do not want, but not what they really do want. A large percentage of the workforce seems to fall into roles and their work is created by default rather than by design.

So would it not make sense and be great to ensure our people's work is as fulfilling as possible - especially considering that they spend almost a third of their lifetime working?

Responsibility
Many old school managers might say: "Oh, but it is the individual's responsibility". But if we want our people to be engaged, productive and profitable then, surely the organization is responsible for giving them the tools, systems and guidance to be enjoying their day-to-day work as much as possible. New leaders are taking responsibility to review and fine-tune individuals work situations.
