Welcome to the world of work; deadlines, meetings, emails and calls. 7-9 hours in a chair in front of a computer, five days a week can take a toll on your body.
Vending machines, happy hours and a comfortable air-conditioned atmosphere: Do not do much healthy habits and before long, you may start wishing you had not eaten that pizza at lunch or that you should have gone to the gym before work.
There are different reasons that make us demotivated at work. It could be either fear, challenge or one of the many other possible reasons. As an employer, you have a certain amount of responsibility for the motivation and wellbeing of your workforce. For a team to function to the best of its ability, all members must be fully engaged and fully committed.
As the old adage says ‘one spoilt apple can spoil the whole basket’. In this case, we are talking about one demotivated person, just like the spoilt apple, he/she can have a negative effect on the entire organisation. Therefore, it is important to identify the causes demotivation at work and chalk out possible solutions.
Are you exhausted? Feeling drained? Getting tired easily? Getting irritated easily?
Then it is just about time you take some time off!
Working is like a club that we are all a part of together. Working, in and of itself, is not so bad but when you start overworking, that is when things can get bad. As humans, we may work ourselves too hard and become burnt out- the best thing to do is take a break, relax and refresh yourself.
Breaks from work can come in all shapes and sizes and at any time of the workday. Sometimes, you may need a longer break from work. That is a vacation. You should not hold up your working excessive hours or forgoing your sleep a badge of honour and perseverance, do not put confidence in the notion that “never taking a vacation” is admirable in any way. If you cannot honour your need for a break and replenishment, then who will?!
Yes! We have all been there. The guy in the cubicle next to us makes vulgar jokes seemingly on a daily timer. One of the girls clearly does not do her part and leeches on the work of others. So on, in any work place, you almost always have at least one person you do not really get along with. With the time we spend at work, having a bad colleague can really hamper your mood over the long haul, as well as your job performance. One of the indicators of a toxic individual's behavior is that they are highly self-centered. You need to look for ways to protect yourself from their wrath.
Did you know that hiring managers can glean a ton of information about you by asking just a few, well-chosen questions. These questions may seem simple questions, but these are questions that get you to reveal information you may have been trying to conceal.
"To uncover areas that may reflect inconsistencies, hiring managers sometimes ask these tricky questions," says Tina Nicolai, executive career coach and founder of Resume Writers' Ink.
These questions help hiring managers to break through the traditional interview noise and clutter, and get to the raw you.
So in other words: these are the questions that tricks you!
