Stop Bringing Your Whole Self to Work
Episode description
The People-First movement in workplace culture has risen in popularity over the past several years and ushered in the concept of bringing your “whole self” to work. It aims to prioritize the well-being and satisfaction of employees. But does bringing your whole self to work truly benefit you and your colleagues? And do you truly want *everyone* to bring their whole self? Your boss, your CEO, etc - does it make you feel more safe knowing every part of everyone at the company?
Several challenges arise when whole self to work:
- Unrealistic expectations
- Increased entitlement
- Lack of accountability
- Inequity and division
- Decision-making challenges
As our hosts Margaret Kelsey and Devin Bramhall dive into the people-first movement, they explore what policies actually put employees first, what amount of transparency is too much, how leaders influence the people-first movement, and how all of this is impacted by the remote and hybrid work environments that are much more common today.
One thing they know for sure? Choosing to bring your best self to work each day is your best bet for your career growth.
