I am the sum of the events of my life, and you are the sum of the events of your own life. Our emotions do not reset when the keycard beeps; instead, we remain as one and the same entity at home and in the office. 

The work of a leader and a manager is a service profession. It is necessary to enable, possess emotional intelligence, and build a self-directed organisation – creating an environment for the company's experts to thrive and perform well.

Crasman’s four core values are togetherness, craftsmanship, with heart, and without compromise. Our blog series discussing these has reached its third part.

With Heart

Security is one of the most important measures of wellbeing, both in working life and in life in general. The feeling arises from being accepted as one is and receiving appreciation for one's contribution. From having the freedom to share one's ideas without fear of embarrassment or complete rejection. And from criticism and developmental suggestions being presented constructively in private.

When a person feels they are a meaningful part of a work community and doing important work, that famous work engagement emerges, bringing joy to the employee, employer, and customer. Maximum potential is used: knowledge, skills, motivation, and well-being.

Empathy and Respect from Person to Person

Working life? Or should we just say life? The line blurs as the amount of cerebral work increases. Is there any sense in separating work and other aspects of life when measuring wellbeing?

Sometimes things go brilliantly, sometimes disastrously. Life's twists do not disappear when the keycard beeps; rather, a person remains as one and the same entity at home and in the office. One cannot and does not even need to perform at a superhuman level at all times. 

At Crasman, we wish to treat each colleague as an individual with their unique, human traits and life phases. We want to provide an empathetic environment where it is possible to be happy or become so. Because it is true that satisfied people just tend to spread good vibes around them.

We want to nurture that circle of positivity so that we can be involved in the everyday lives of our colleagues and customers with ever-improving enthusiasm, with all our heart.

Togetherness, craftsmanship, with heart, and without compromise are Crasman’s four core values. In the next part of our blog series addressing these values, I will consider how the word “without compromise” guides our actions.
