14 Tips For What To Do When You Are Not Feeling Valued At Work
So you’re not feeling valued at work. I mean, let’s be honest, everyone wants to feel valued, especially at work. You want to feel like the work that you do matters. It contributes in some way, shape, or form and ultimately that makes an impact.
When we’re not feeling that way, it definitely can be hard.
There are a lot of challenges and conflicts that may arise when that feeling is lacking.
Let’s dive into some tips that you can do to help fix that.
# 1 — Ask yourself what’s causing you not to feel valued (so you’re not feeling that way)
Everyone needs recognition differently. Maybe you need simple words of affirmation. That could look like:
- A simple ‘thank you’
- ‘Hey Steph great job on that project’
- ‘You’re doing so great towards your progress’.
Maybe it’s recognition in front of a group or you might be someone who wants recognition privately. You need to know all of these things for yourself.
#2 — In the past, how have you felt valued at work?
Again this is also different for each person. Maybe it’s a high five, maybe it’s ‘Steph did this great job’ in front of your team.
