Question 1.
What gives you most joy and satisfaction in your work?
Joy and satisfaction lead to better
health and well-being in the workplace.
They lead to higher morale, increased
productivity and savings, through
reduced sickness absence.

Question 2.
How do we create workplaces where we feel valued, respected
and where we can do our best work?
One answer is make time to reflect on
your general feelings of well-being and
your relationships with others. Also
how far your work is meaningful and
has a purpose.

Question 3.
What does reflection mean?
Part of this means looking backwards
to appreciate what you have achieved
and the things you might have
succeeded in changing. This should
give you a sense of where you have
come from. The other part involves
looking forward and towards achieving
your future goals. There are limits to
reflecting alone. It’s better done with
others.

Question 4.
What is appreciative reflection?
This is a special and important kind of
reflection. It involves identifying,
understanding and amplifying
(a) your own gifts and talents and those
of others (b) the way you positively
value and respect yourself and others
(c) ways to improve your work and
workplace.
It is about focusing on success and
achievement, not just on problems and
failures.

Question 5.
What workplace conditions are needed for appreciative
reflection?
(a) Space to come together to discuss
what you want more of (success & well-
being) not less of (problems & failure)
(b) An opportunity to authentically
participate in decisions about your
well-being, your work and workplace
(c) Positivity, a strength and sense of
belief that you can improve your
working life
(d) Courage to act ethically and do the
right thing
