How family impacts us all

Recently, I have been thinking about family and work. They go hand in hand and have many similarities and comparisons. We spend almost an equal time at work, as we do with our own families. We give 100 % at home and we give an equal amount at work. I enjoy spending time with my family and in a similar measure I enjoy spending time with colleagues at work, chatting about the day or  relevant topics.

Ultimately


Our family is the most important aspect, we work for our family but equally work must protect us both financially and physically. One of my colleagues has a saying 'nobody gets injured on my watch'. I love this, he will do his upmost to make sure that all of his colleagues go home safe at the end of the day, back to their families.  For me this is 'making safety a personal core value', this comes from within, a desire to be 'supportive of each other'.
You are part of the team, it's a family. Remember throughout all of the dramas your team is there for you and you need to be there for them. You may work alone at times but without the wider team around you nothing can be achieved.
Think about how you treat others at work, do you treat them like a member of your family?
