We all love to belong to something: teams, work groups, clubs… you know, things we do with others or alone. I play guitar and love reading books, and know people who belong to clubs, participate in leagues, pursue interests with other like-minded people, or immerse themselves in (like hobbies and projects). All of these kinds of things satisfy our inner needs: they add balance to our lives and help to define the mental picture we have of ourselves. We can lose ourselves in them, and find ourselves there, too. We want and need them in our personal lives and also long to have them at work. Be aware of their needs and look for ways to satisfy them for your employees, with things like work teams, group meetings, special projects and assignments, brainstorming sessions, volunteer programs, and countless other opportunities for them to get engaged. And by the way, they also can help improve attendance, performance, productivity and morale. Give your employees activities they can lose themselves in today.
