Work is a big proportion of our lives. I plan to be proactive seeking out and working towards being able to state the following.
I am treated as important.
- My work is valued and appreciated by those I work with
- People interact with me with respect
- I understand how I contribute to the bigger picture
I work with people I want to work with.
- People I work with enhance who I am as a professional
- From those around me, I receive as much support as I need
- I can communicate effectively with those I work with
I am able to bring myself to work.
- I bring as much of myself to my work as I want. Whether that’s wanting to share my whole self or keeping myself to myself.
- The amount of time I spending working supports my life as a whole. Whether that’s the ability to maximise time with friends and family or dedicating myself to my career.
I am proud of the work I do and I can go home with my head held high.
- I know technology can help solve the stated problem
- I know I’ve crafted the best code or I’m helping get to market fast
- There is a visible and understandable loop between my work, users and the organisation.
In a big or small way, I work to support the world I want to see.
That could mean…
- Helping to make people’s work or personal lives better
- Creating a level playing field for all
- Protecting people’s privacy
- …Or maintaining the status quo
I am able to develop and grow myself.
- I have the time available to me to learn new skills
- I am in an environment that understands that I work in a field that requires constant growth
- I am able to apply newly learnt concepts and tools in my work
