Bad Work Stories Made Good
We hear too many stories of suffering at work and want to help you get some ideas and relief to make your life healthier and happier. In each episode, we will take a bad work story from our client work, the media, or even your own bad work story and make it good.
Bad Work Stories Made Good
“Held Captive All Day” A New Approach at Mineral Resources Australia.
We are on a mission to end suffering at work.
Bad work stories are everywhere - they are stressful - sucking our time, attention and precious energy, and for a lot of us, we take the stress home.
A great leader once said - “Be the change you want to see in the world “, and that's what we do here.
Each week, we take ONE Bad work story - and discuss:
- A Perspective for Everyone.
- A Perspective for Leaders, specifically
- One practical tool that you can apply today.
Take one or all three, and you can improve your Bad Work story today.
We must do something different if we want more joy and healthy collaboration in our teams and organisations. Take what resonates with you, and let us know how you get on.
This week, we explore the news coming out of Mineral Resources Australia, where the MD prefers to hold employees captured all day - walking outside for a coffee is too costly.
Points covered
- Is this a culture fit for you ?
- Low trust and low autonomy for productivity in HQ
- How does this approach align with the Vision, Purpose, Values and people statements on their website.
