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.
