Passion to work at workplace result in effective work productivity

Passion is defined as strong inclination toward an activity that people like, that they find important, and in which they invest time and energy.

Two types of passion are proposed: obsessive and harmonious.

Obsessive passion refers to a controlled internalization of an activity in one’s identity that creates an internal pressure to engage in the activity that the person likes.

Harmonious passion refers to an autonomous internalization that leads individuals to choose to engage in the activity that they like. Harmonious passion promotes healthy adaptation whereas obsessive passion thwarts it by causing negative affect and rigid persistence.

“Passion” entails a number of factors; being in the right job is critical. That means loving what you do and being charged up about around the main aspects of the work. Working in the right team is also a key factor in the level of motivation. Creating a compelling vision and direction is essential for team passion. Finally the right relationship with peers and managers is critical. Having the right work environment facilitates passion.

All of the above can serve as passion boosters or killers. The key is the get the formula right in as many areas as possible. Passion is key to bringing the organization to the next level of success.

CHALLENGE

This Regional Team was very busy creating the program for growth in the region. Despite their roles and responsibilities being clearly written, they seemed to be dong a bit of everything, lacking focus. The priority was on task management and just “getting the job done”. This was creating stress and poor work – life balance. Importantly the satisfaction scores were suffering. Team members were no longer enjoying their work, feeling the burden of just having to deliver in a very hectic environment.

SOLUTION

Although they clearly knew their jobs and work, they were not following their job descriptions. A one-day program was conducted to create focus and alignment and return team members to a sense of passion and satisfaction with their work. During the session, the team members engaged in “Getting the Passion Back” exercise. This involved categorizing work activities into varying levels of passion, and creating focus on those areas with the greatest level of interest and motivation. For those areas of low passion, alternatives were explored to minimize, delegate, transfer to others. An individual plan was created by each participant, which was then discussed at a team level.

OUTCOME

Each team member became clear about the work elements, which will motivate them, and to what extent they are spending time on those elements. They clearly saw how certain exercises were energy drainers and de-motivating. They committed to spend more time on high passion activities, while still taking responsibility for their overall jobs. A key release occurred where team members again could see and feel how their work could return to being fulfilling and meaningful and what elements were required for that to be true. Overall, the team and management agreed to organize themselves better to match tasks with people.

The office is the place where your employees probably spend the most part of their day. It is also the place where they do the same type of work day-in day-out which does become tedious at times. This is when passion and interest for work starts waning and even the most professional workers become just a tad unmindful of how they perform. Understandably, this lack of interest and passion can severely affect your overall business and the work culture of your organisation. So whenever you feel that your employees need to develop their passion and interest, all you need to do is enrol them for an effective employee engagement training programme.

The office is the place where your employees probably spend the most part of their day. It is also the place where they do the same type of work day-in day-out which does become tedious at times. This is when passion and interest for work starts waning and even the most professional workers become just a tad unmindful of how they perform. Understandably, this lack of interest and passion can severely affect your overall business and the work culture of your organisation. So whenever you feel that your employees need to develop their passion and interest, all you need to do is enrol them for an effective employee engagement training   programme.Why Opt for Employee Engagement Training?Your employees are your biggest asset. Without happy and involved employees, you can hardly hope to achieve your business targets and profit margin.In fact, the very success of your business depends on how passionate and interested your employees are about their work. Employee engagement training helps your employees in finding ways of re-igniting their passion for work or identifying their latent talent.Enrolling them for period training sessions refreshes their perspective and teaches them self-motivation strategies at the workplace. All this can have a profound effect on how your employees perform in the long run for maximum benefit of your organisation.

Passion for Work Helps to Achieve GoalsIt’s a well-known fact that people who are passionate about their job are in a better position to achieve their goals. For an organisation, this would mean workers who are a hundred percent focused; involved and passionate about the organisation’s short-term and long-term goals. You can depend on your workers only when they are involved and concerned about timely completion of projects or delivery of consignments to clients.

Professional Involvement Improved ProductivityIt is only when your employees are completely involved in their job that they can give their maximum for the organisation. Without active involvement or passion for the job, most of the tasks will be completed in a ham-handed manner or left incomplete. Disinterested workers who have

to be prodded at every step, or who are not proactive, will never put in their best to help improve regular and long-term productivity levels.

Involvement and Passion for Work Fosters the Right AttitudeEmployees must have the right attitude towards their everyday work; no matter how repetitive the task may be. Having the right attitude means staying positive and accepting newer challenges, irrespective of how difficult the situation might be.Employees who stay inspired and involved not only help the organisation grow, but also help it to overcome unexpected difficulties and bad times. Employees who are frustrated or bored with their job can never benefit the organisation or help it to rise above competitors.

Passion for Work Cultivates a Happy Working EnvironmentEmployees who are involved and passionate about their work accomplish more and are happy with their own achievements. Their enthusiasm rubs off on others, thereby spreading a feeling of happiness and success throughout the entire organisation. Naturally, the other employees too are affected in a positive way and in the long run, you can feel a significant improvement in the overall work culture in the office.
