Decent Work

Why do you do the job you do?

Have you ever sat down and thought about what it is that you value, and how that influences your work choices?

Are you doing a job that aligns with your values?

Studies have shown that individuals who are working in a job that provides them with “decent work” (meaning shared values, adequate rest, fair compensation, healthcare, and workplace safety) are correlated with increased job satisfaction, reduced rates of burnout, career longevity, and better mental health and wellbeing.

Take a moment to think - what parts of your job are providing you with decent work? What parts aren’t? Where is there room for improvement?

Tell me down below - do you consider your current job to be decent work? Why or why not?
