JOB crafting 

The Toolkit to creatE purposeful high performing teams

Are you flourishing ? 

Do you find purpose and meaning while you work in your team, do you feel engaged?

 No organization can customize all its teams and jobs to align to  each individual; to their passion, strength or skills. 

But you can get there with Job Crafting.  

Job Crafting captures the redesigning that individuals do to their own jobs (aspects of  the tasks, relationships, and the purpose of ones job), in ways that can foster job satisfaction, as well as engagement, resilience and flourishing at work.
