One of the themes which sometimes emerges in eQIPd ‘s staff survey reports which we run on behalf of ECEC services is educators not feeling appreciated at work. Given how emotionally demanding it is to work in early childhood education and care, this really matters. Creating a culture of appreciation is something which both leaders and colleagues can do...to be fair, I think when are at our best this is easy, but sometimes it's helpful to have a reminder, particularly when we are half-way through the year and in the middle of winter here in Australia. Hence, I thought I might share this article from Harvard Business Review https://lnkd.in/g7rZUex2 A few examples (and they are simple, obvious, but can slip when we are not being our best selves): Greet people when they arrive and say good-bye when they leave Create a psychologically safe place Work to the best of our abilities, because if we don't, it means someone else’s work is adversely impacted. And thank-you, Christopher Littlefield for publishing this article! #ECEC #quality #workforce

During a project discussion today, someone called it a "Mount Rushmore Moment". But for the lions share of public sector employees and myself, it didn't really ring true. Consider that most public sector employees are motivated by; A desire to make a positive impact on their communities and contribute to the greater good, the satisfaction of directly helping people and making their lives better, and the feeling that their work contributes to something important beyond just a paycheck. Consider asking a co-worker about their motivation - The specific challenges you're tackling that make a difference in people's lives, the sense of accomplishment you get from overcoming those challenges, and the collaborative nature of public service work.

Dear outgoing and incoming National Service Personnel 👋 A year ago I completed my service at Ada East District Assembly and as a Public Relations Officer for my batch, my association with top management taught me a lot about humility and networking and the readiness to learn. I saw my service during my tenure as an opportunity to explore a diverse field of study and learn a thing or two from different departments which has honed my skills today and made me the woman I have become. Don't just see this as a time for "punishment" but rather learn a lot from these experiences and make the best choices after your service. Here are 5 life lessons for National Service personne I want to share with you all 1. *Discipline and Time Management*: National Service teaches you the importance of discipline, punctuality, and effective time management. These skills will benefit you throughout your life, helping you prioritize tasks, meet deadlines, and achieve goals. 2. *Teamwork and Camaraderie*: National Service fosters teamwork, camaraderie, and bonding. You learn to rely on others, build strong relationships, and develop essential communication skills. These skills are valuable in personal and professional life. 3. *Adaptability and Resilience*: National Service pushes you out of your comfort zone, teaching you to adapt to new situations, challenges, and environments. You develop resilience, learning to cope with stress, overcome obstacles, and bounce back from setbacks. 4. *Leadership and Responsibility*: National Service offers opportunities to develop leadership skills, take charge, and assume responsibility. You learn to motivate others, make tough decisions, and own up to mistakes. 5. *Humility and Self-Discovery*: National Service is a transformative experience that teaches humility, self-awareness, and self-discovery. You learn to appreciate diverse perspectives, confront your limitations, and discover your strengths and passions. Remember, National Service is not just about serving your country; it's also about personal growth, development, and preparation for life's challenges.

Core values are the foundation of who we are, both personally and professionally. For me, integrity, continuous learning and empathy are at the heart of everything I do. During my time as a Business Development Manager Volunteer, I’ve seen how these values can build strong client relationships and create a positive work environment. How do your core values influence your career?

Yesterday, I got an appreciation from my team at my company town hall. There have been multiple instances in my life where my organization or my seniors have recognized me for the work that I have done. Never have I posted or mentioned such appreciations to anyone. But this one is special because it comes from my juniors/teammates. I have always believed that no matter how you maintain your relationship with seniors, it is more important how you manage your relationship with juniors. Your success is defined by your team's performance, not your manager’s. Yes, you need your manager whenever you need guidance or support. But the real work is done by your juniors/teammates. Don’t micromanage them, instead give them the freedom to work. Support them when they are stuck. Appreciate them when they do good work. And back them when they don’t. Because remember you are as good as your team! Follow Rohit Singh for more. #team #appreciation #consulting #teamwork

My grandpa said to me when I started my first job: “Keep your head down and work hard so nobody can say anything about you.” For somebody that grew up in the aftermath of the Spanish civil war it made a lot of sense. Their sense of being productive meant always say yes to any task. Be always ready to do more work. Why? Because they were kids when they started working. They knew how it felt to be hungry. Having a job was the only way to ensure they’d have something to eat. This was the type of loyalty that would make an 8 year old go up to the mountains to collect logs with their bare hands so they wouldn’t go to sleep with a rumbling belly. They would put up with anything for the sake of keeping their jobs. Maslow’s hierarchy ➡ food and shelter were the utmost priority. He obviously passed this knowledge onto me as he wanted to ensure I was SAFE for life. But it looks like, since I have most of my necessities covered and I am not on high alert every second of the day. This mentality could lead to abusive work relationships. This research suggests that sacrificing oneself for the benefit of a company could create vicious cycles where the most loyal employees end up being the ones getting the highest workloads. But not the recognition or promotions they want. *Applied to an organizational context, it would be exploitative for management, representing the organization's goals and interests, to have some workers work excessively or engage in tasks unrelated to their job duties without extra pay or tangible reward (Kim et al., 2020).* This text is definitely worth a read. Perhaps this is the science behind quiet quitting? Why would somebody work their butts off for no reward? Link to the document in the comments below! #workculture #loyalty #leanmanagement #sixsigma

It was great seeing the industry through the eyes of my niece when she completed work experience with us a few weeks ago. 💡 Her final task was to help us write a blog post about her placement and she had some excellent insights. We’ve always been big supporters of bridging the gap between education and industry, so to give her a genuine taste of it was a proud moment for me. And what did I take away from it? 🤔 🤝 The people you meet is still one of the biggest influences on a career and positive relationships are still at the heart of everything good about the job. 💡 You’re always learning and it’s never to late to get a fresh perspective on things. 🙌 Be proud of what you do and don’t take it for granted. If you enjoy going in to work everyday then you’ve built something special. #workexperience #education #freshperspective #nextgeneration
What’s it like working at 6rs?

## #HardWorkMatters #VisibilityIsKey #GetRecognized Dear Hardworking Employees, It's a tough reality, but even the most dedicated work can go unnoticed if it isn't visible to management. #TheSilentWorkerProblem Sadly, hardworking employees can sometimes be overshadowed by those who are more vocal about their contributions. #MakeYourImpactKnown · While putting in your best effort is essential, making your work visible is equally important. Don't be afraid to: · Share updates: Keep your manager informed of your progress and achievements. · Document your work: Maintain clear records of projects, tasks, and contributions. · Communicate effectively: Actively participate in meetings, offer solutions, and seek feedback. #Don'tBeTheSilentWorker Remember, management can't appreciate your work if they don't know about it. Make your contributions shine and get the recognition you deserve!

Part 2 of 2! In my previous post, I talked about my number one lesson learned from thirteen years of service as a federal employee, which was to be the umbrella ☔ for your team. As I pack up my work computer, archive files, and prepare to logoff for the last time today, I'll share the other two big lessons from my time in government. 2. Build trust, and then honor it 🔄. One of the first steps in earning your team’s trust is to show them you are trustworthy. This generally involves acting like a real human: being vulnerable, admitting when you are wrong or don't understand, and listening to others. It also means following through on both what you say you will do and what you are required to do to keep the wheels of employment running (approving leave requests, forwarding important emails, and scheduling performance reviews, to name a few). Once your team trusts you in these realms, and you maintain that trust, you are going to achieve big things. Nothing frustrates team members more, or makes you seem less trustworthy, than when emails go unanswered, or they get surprised by a request you didn’t see or never forwarded, or when they have to hunt you down to get important meetings scheduled. And the kiss of death for trust? Not showing up to a meeting you scheduled, you requested, or where you are needed to support someone on your team. 3. Seek out collaboration 🤝. Many government agencies and programs are mired in silos – even individuals will silo themselves and hoard their knowledge and expertise. Look for places where your circle of the Venn Diagram overlaps with others so you can share information and ideas, resources and efforts. Ultimately, the relationships that you build will translate into organizational successes that exceed what could have been accomplished by either party alone. Collaboration builds your personal cabinet of folks who will go to bat for you and your team, and it builds a larger table where more people can have a seat. Overall, I am so very grateful for the opportunities and lessons that have shaped my journey as a fed. 🚀 As I embark on new career path, I'm eager to hear your thoughts and experiences. Drop a comment or feel free to DM me. Cheers to the journey ahead! #CareerReflections #NewBeginnings #ProfessionalGrowth #LeadershipLessons #Gratitude #TeamBuilding #TrustInAction #GovernmentService #FarewellDay #ExcitedForTheFuture #ExcitingJourney #StayTuned #CareerAdventure #LinkedInCommunity #NextChapter #ThrilledToShare #Anticipation #CareerMove #InsignificantLaw
