Change, challenge and communication are key between you and your organisation when it comes to engagement at work. To get that magic back and feel good at work again, try one of these creative techniques from O’Brien and Desai.

Take it at face value

Identify your core values to understand what really matters to you and compare those to your company’s values. To make it fun, try using value cards or make a values bingo card and tick off when you’ve demonstrated your company’s values or your own.

Strut your stuff

Walk the floors when you’re in the office – say hello and chat to your colleagues. This not only helps you build connections with others, which is a great way to feel like there is more meaning to your work, but it also makes you more visible, which can lead to interesting career opportunities.

Shine the light

Celebrate a colleague each week by shouting them out in a meeting, sending an email to their manager or to the team Slack channel. This helps you feel you’re making a positive impact in someone else’s life. Plus, by proactively cheerleading others, the spotlight will likely radiate back to you.
