"Voting isn’t the most we can do. But it is the least."
- Gloria Steinem
Gratitude in the workplace is a practice that involves recognizing and appreciating the value that others bring. It includes acknowledging growth opportunities and maintaining perspective during challenging times. Gratitude becomes a powerful tool for maintaining productivity and fostering resilience.
So, what does gratitude have to do with voting?
I'm glad you asked!
The relationship between gratitude and voting creates a powerful synergy that strengthens participation and engagement. When we approach voting with gratitude, we:
Deepen our appreciation for democratic processes
Enhance employee participation
Strengthen community bonds
Create more meaningful work experiences
The practice of gratitude can be aligned with our personal and professional values. We can apply this idea as we approach deadlines for important decision-making inside and outside the workplace. Authentically practicing gratitude comes down to 3 actions: Preparation! Preparation! And yes, Preparation!
Ask yourself:
Do I understand the basis for a democratic process?
What are the potential outcomes of enhanced employee participation?
In what ways will our community bonds strengthen?
How can my vote stimulate more meaningful work experiences?
The time for action is now. Create a culture of appreciation and engagement and drive positive social change.
