Authenticity in the workplace positively impacts employee well-being and fosters stronger relationships among coworkers. However, societal ideals known as "ideal worker norms" often restrict individuals from expressing their true selves, imposing rigid expectations regarding professionalism, work hours, and personal demeanor. To cultivate authenticity, individuals can reflect on their professional persona, eliminate behaviors that feel inauthentic, and share their values and personal lives with colleagues. By doing so, they can deepen connections and create a more engaging work environment.
When people really know each other well, they work together more smoothly and effectively.
Ideal worker norms dictate how people act at work and how we perceive ourselves and our coworkers.
Hiding who we really are at work prevents coworkers from building deeper relationships.
Reflecting on your work persona can help you increase your authenticity.
