TrainingBriefs® Why Bringing Your Authentic Self to Work Matters

Being your authentic self at work can create a better work environment and experiences for both coworkers and clients. It can also have a positive effect on your life outside of work. Research shows that feeling like you can be yourself at work improves employee engagement, empowerment, trust, relationships, and happiness. So, don't be afraid to bring your authentic self to work. It can benefit you and everyone around you.

Being authentic means that your personality at work and at home are similar, if not identical. It means that you are honest, open, and true to your values and beliefs. It also means that you respect and appreciate the diversity of others.
