What happens when our basic human needs are not met?

What happens when you feel overlooked, misunderstood, ignored or forgotten?

We all know that dreaded invisible feeling.

No one likes being talked over or not invited to speak at all.

We don’t bring the best of ourselves to work when we put in the effort and no one even notices.

This is known as a toxic work environment or a SHUVA-less work environment.

It’s often the reason why good people quit their jobs.

They become disengaged and unproductive.

So what’s the solution to the growing problem of quiet quitting?

Create an environment of SHUVA™

SHUVA™ are 5 tangible actions you can do to meet the needs of your staff.

When I See, Hear, Understand, Value and Appreciate you, it builds a highway for collaboration and an opportunity for us to reach alignment.
