We spend many hours at the office, consciously more than anywhere else. That’s why coworkers are, or should be, our second family, as we share a large part of our lives and experiences with them.
Caring for workers has become a priority in companies, but no longer only in terms of employee health, well-being, or happiness; the way we hire is now different, more humane.
The most forward-thinking companies know that attitude is the most important thing, which is why, among the requirements for each job, they look for people with values, who are positive, enthusiastic… in short, good people who believe in and foster a good atmosphere in the company.
Toxic employees who achieve their goals regardless of who they leave behind are becoming endangered. There is no need for bosses who impose their will and instill fear; leaders are sought, people who guide a team and inspire confidence and harmony. The kind of bosses who even make your day!
What is a good person?
Good people are good in the office, they are good to their friends, their families, strangers… a good person does not stop being good just because they are in one environment or another.
Good people are not those who use diminutives and happy phrases, but are on the warpath whenever they get the chance.
You recognize them because they make you feel good and they go around the office being who they really are: kind, respectful, attentive, flexible, cordial, honest, smiling, understanding, responsible… It’s not very often that you see them angry.
Good people are good even when they’re in a hurry!
How do I recognize a good person when hiring?
To begin with, the person conducting the job interview must be a good person, because empathy is essential. It seems that like-minded people recognize each other. Vibes are transmitted.
And of course, everyone can have bad days and bad interviews, even good people. That’s why it’s not enough to just ask the typical questions related to the job. You have to delve deeper into the candidate’s personality, experiences, and practical cases on a more personal level, not just a professional one.
Why bother bringing good people into companies?
Good people can contribute much more than knowledge and results at work:
- They create a good atmosphere in the office: less stress, better relationships, and therefore better results.
- They are eager to work: they don’t like to waste time and are easily motivated
- They know how to accept mistakes and therefore learn from them
- They know how to work as a team: they like to do their bit without taking all the credit or taking it away from other colleagues
- They contribute values and honesty
- They help their coworkers
We can say that good people spread good energy and make time in the office better for their colleagues, which also leads to higher performance and productivity.
In addition to good people, having the best seasonal fruit in the office also creates a great atmosphere among employees, creating colorful spaces that are ideal for taking a break with colleagues.
