My Journey to Promote a Culture of Well-being in the Software Industry

My Journey to Promote a Culture of Well-being in the Software Industry

My motivations for posting on social media and writing books stem from my deep concern for the wellbeing of people working in the software industry and business more generally. As someone who has spent many years working in this field, I have seen firsthand the impact that a toxic culture can have on people, and how it can lead to burnout, low morale, and dismal job satisfaction.

One of my main goals is to help organisations consider the importance of culture in creating effective and successful organisations. I believe that culture is key to a healthy work environment, and that it is crucial for organisations to create a culture that supports the wellbeing of everyone involved, not just the Core Group. This includes creating a sense of joy at work, fostering a sense of belonging, and co-creating a shared purpose.

Additionally, I believe that improving the culture within organisations will have a knock-on effect on society as a whole. When people are happy and fulfilled in their work, they are more likely to be engaged in their community and to contribute positively to society. This is also something that I care deeply about, and it is what drives me to continue to write and speak about the importance of joy in the workplace.

Moreover, my work is not so much driven by increasing profitability or revenue for organisations, but on enhancing the well-being of all members within the company. I firmly believe that a culture that prioritises well-being is vital for long-term success and profitability both, and it is important to establish an environment where employees feel valued and respected.

In conclusion, my motivations for e.g. posting on social media, writing books, and public speaking stem from my deep concern for the wellbeing of people working in the software industry and in business more generally. By effecting more effective cultures within organisations, we can have a knock-on effect on society as a whole, and I am dedicated to promoting this message in my work.
