Managing Work Expectations • Transforming Attitudes

Work expectations are those things people consider likely to happen in their job situation, either now or in the future. Whether spoken or unspoken, met or unmet, expectations have a powerful impact on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and play a key role in driving our attitudes. Research shows that people who have clearly defined, well-communicated expectations find more satisfaction and success in their work than people whose expectations go unspoken or unrealized. And companies that employ satisfied, successful people reap the rewards of increased productivity and reduced turnover.

 

 

Explore 10 Key Expectations
In a typical employment situation, certain expectations — such as salary, hours, and job duties — are clearly understood by both employer and employee. Other expectations, however, are so intimately linked to an individual’s concept of work that they oftentimes go unspoken or unacknowledged.

  1. Recognition

Network and Sponsoring Materials Icon.gif (1226 bytes)Transition -- The Personal Path Through Change Facilitator's Sourcebook

Bridges' Transition Model
Phase 1: Endings
Every transition begins with an ending, a loss. When things change, people leave behind the way things were — and the way they were in the previous situation. They may be left searching for a new way to define themselves.

Phase 2: The Neutral Zone
A confusing in-between state, when people are no longer who and where they were, but are not yet who and where they're going to be. While the Neutral Zone can be distressing, it also provides many opportunities for creative transformation.

Phase 3: New Beginnings
A new beginning can only happen after people have let go of the past and spent some time in the Neutral Zone. In this phase, people accept the reality of the change and start to identify with their new situation.

Powerful Resource for Facilitated and Self-Directed Change Programs
Transition — The Personal Path Through Change is an effective tool that:
