Workplace Love Languages
We’ve all heard about Love Languages, but how do you incorporate these in our workplace?
The main difference between a love language between two partners and a workplace love language is this: When you communicate your love language with your partner, you create a symbiotic relationship between the two of you.
However, taking this approach in the workplace creates a culture of care, empathy, and perspective. When done authentically, the workplace languages will become contagious.
Be prepared to find out about what your Workplace Love Language is and how with this understanding you can enhance your workplace relationships.
