What’s the worst job you’ve ever had?
Where you just couldn't be bothered to get out of bed on a Monday morning and drag yourself to work. Where every day of the week was spent counting down to the weekend, and you longed for the day when you no longer had to bother with…
The boss? The tasks? The colleagues? The working environment? The commuting?
There are many factors that influence our job satisfaction and the way we view our job. Most often it is a mixed bag, where you may get on with your boss and colleagues but find the work tasks really difficult and annoying. Or the opposite, where you love your actual work, but there are one or two colleagues who spoil it all.
But one factor that is absolutely central to our job satisfaction and which is mentioned by ‘supervisors’ in almost all cases, is psychological safety.
