Job crafting Part V – Relationship crafting

What can you learn from your work relationships?

Last post from the Job Crafting series of 🕑 The Self-Coaching Minute! This week the focus is on work relationships and communication at work, i.e. relationship crafting.

Job crafting is about shaping our work so that it fits our needs and making adjustments so that our job is more enjoyable and meaningful.

There are 4 main types of job crafting activities:

  • Task crafting
  • Cognitive crafting
  • Relationship crafting
  • Environment crafting

 

Relationship crafting is about reshaping the type and nature of our interactions at work.

The people we work with on what types of tasks.

The people we engage with and how.

How we communicate with people.

The role we play with different people, in different situations.
