Do You Have To Love Your Job?
I don’t like every part of my job. I don’t like if I'm working with a difficult client, don't get a speaking gig that I was excited for, or am working on a project I don’t like. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love my job. It’s ok to not like some parts of your job. You don’t need to love every minute of your job. It’s ok to have bad days where you're frustrated, feel a little bit disengaged, or are tired. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.

In the eyes of your employees, your physical space acts as a symbol that represents what your organization stands for. If your employees are on the frontlines, the customer experience starts to mimic the employee experience because that is where employees are working. The physical space is 30% of the overall employee experience and should reflect the values of the organization. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.
