Employee Satisfaction & Morale
The subconscious mind does not perceive the world the way the cognitive, rational, modern mind does. Subconscious programs haven't been updated for thousands of years, and that primitive perspective is immersed in evaluation of threat, conforming to group requirements, and status to secure one's position within the group.
The effects of the subconscious are not detectable in thought, but in body chemistry, behavior, and emotion. The easiest way to detect the effects of subconscious programs is to watch how others react to you, and notice when their reaction conflicts with your intention for the interaction.
Consider providing orders to a direct report. Many managers will couch orders in conversation, or discussion of requirements, so that the reporting individual is engaged in the task, rather than feeling controlled or bullied. Inevitably one may be aware of resentment of added tasks, even when those tasks are appropriate, reasonably presented, and appropriately received. Obviously if the person is time-challenged, resentment might be considered inevitable - but it is never a useful result of interaction, and can't have a good effect on performance. A worker who is resenting their work load is not as effective in reducing their work load. You can reduce occurrences of resentment with an understanding of subconscious function. Workshop tools can be used to eliminate resentment from interactions.
The Going Beyond Success Workshop provides tools and information so that reporting structures can operate effectively without triggering damaging reactions like resentment. Using tools to connect employee performance with status that satisfies the subconscious can align employee priorities with company priorities and directly improve performance results.
Many progressive companies have created great incentive programs, recognition programs, and ways of confirming that they value their human resources. There is great value in supplementing those good ideas with awareness of the affect of subconscious programs in every interaction, and using that awareness to reduce or eliminate even minor resentment that can distract workers from their work. A happy worker really does produce more.
