SUMMARY:Gathering perspectives
DESCRIPTION:To help you shift your mindset towards culture change\, gathering perspectives from others about workplace culture can be very useful. \nThis is not the time to ask people for observations on your behaviour at work\, it’s about understanding their perspectives on workplace culture. \nFirst\, ask our AI-powered tool questAIon to generate questions about ‘gathering perspectives on a great workplace culture’. \nhttps://charityculturecatalyst.com/questaion/ \nThen send the questions to six people you work with to gather their perspectives and hear their ideas\, feelings and hopes related to workplace culture. \nWhen you’ve got some responses\, meet with others who have gathered perspectives to share what you have learned. \n\nWere there any surprises in what people said?\nWhich comments stand out to you as different from your experience?\nWhich comments shifted your thinking about the needs of people in organisations today?\nGiven your conversations and listening to what the others took away from their interactions\, what are the most significant challenges to shifting the interactions and culture to support an organisation where all people feel included and able to do their best work?\n\nShare

SUMMARY:Celebrate the good stuff
DESCRIPTION:Do you celebrate the good stuff at work and at home enough? \nTom Rath and Donald O. Clifton’s book\, How Full is Your Bucket?  was first published in 2004. It provides research and a delightful reminder that we all want to be seen\, heard and acknowledged. \nRath and Clifton argue that providing brief and positive interactions in work and home relationships can result in benefits such as increased productivity and well-being. Some of their research-based conclusions with millions of workers include the main reason employees leave their job is because they do not feel appreciated. \nMost people (9 out of 10) report they are more productive when they are around positive people. \nFive positive interactions are required for each negative interaction to create and maintain a positive working environment. \nIf you feel like you need to do more to celebrate\, we invite you to get the ball rolling by taking 25 minutes* to celebrate every two weeks**. \n\nFind out how people want to receive recognition.\nGive attention and acknowledgment unexpectedly.\nFocus on what is going well.\n\n*Why 25 mins? We love the ‘pomodoro’ technique which suggests focusing on one thing for 25 minutes before moving on to something else. \n**If once every two weeks isn’t enough\, celebrate as much as you like! \nStuck for what to say?  Experiment with this AI-powered tool called prAIse. \nShare

SUMMARY:Celebrate the good stuff
DESCRIPTION:Do you celebrate the good stuff at work and at home enough? \nTom Rath and Donald O. Clifton’s book\, How Full is Your Bucket?  was first published in 2004. It provides research and a delightful reminder that we all want to be seen\, heard and acknowledged. \nRath and Clifton argue that providing brief and positive interactions in work and home relationships can result in benefits such as increased productivity and well-being. Some of their research-based conclusions with millions of workers include the main reason employees leave their job is because they do not feel appreciated. \nMost people (9 out of 10) report they are more productive when they are around positive people. \nFive positive interactions are required for each negative interaction to create and maintain a positive working environment. \nIf you feel like you need to do more to celebrate\, we invite you to get the ball rolling by taking 25 minutes* to celebrate every two weeks**. \n\nFind out how people want to receive recognition.\nGive attention and acknowledgment unexpectedly.\nFocus on what is going well.\n\n*Why 25 mins?
