Change in Workplace

-

 Change links to the situation and incidents that happen to someone. Even though it isn’t an internal shift and most of the time it’s something we don’t prefer,  yet we don’t have any choice but to adapt.  Changes in your workplace are necessary as it brings positive vibes and the ability to be able to do things differently or even perhaps better. Along the way of adapting to these changes, one can come across more opportunities and windows for their work role.


The same everyday scenery in front of your eyes doesn’t let you work to the fullest. Little vacations away from our workplace and changes in our everyday environment are crucial in order to grow as human beings. Doing so helps relieve stress and other burdens that you were carrying.


But what about major changes? Moving to another country, leaving your previous job searching for something new, and saying goodbye to friends and family are all major changes that happen to us but not daily, so we usually don’t know how to react most of the time. Anxiousness tends to take over us as we think about all the worst possible scenarios that could happen to us. What if I accidentally disrespect someone because I don’t know this country’s customs? What if I’m not fit for this job and should’ve just stuck to my previous one? What if I end up losing touch with all my loved ones? Are common worries people have while making big decisions but usually over time as they get comfortable things tend to work out.


Not all people have the opportunity to make decisions when it comes to making a change as they know that if they don’t do so their situation will just worsen hence they have to make a change whether they’re ready or not. 


So here are 7 ways to adapt to changes in your workplace.


  • Make a work buddy: One way to get comfortable at your new workplace is to have someone to help you get comfortable. Communicate with your colleagues and get to know them and the workplace better. People tend to be more confident when they have a support system somewhere around them helping and guiding them from time to time.  

  • Be open and honest about your worries: It's essential to discuss any issues you have with your management as soon as possible. They can provide you with useful information on workplace changes to help you better understand and adapt. When discussing your worries about workplace changes with an employer, make careful to highlight your dedication to incorporating the changes into your daily routine.


  • Make a good first impression: In business, being late, having poor physical grooming, slouching, and poor choice of words all produce terrible first impressions. After the original interaction, these acts may stay in your superior's mind for a long time. As you establish connections and create relationships, a confident and professional first impression sets the tone for what you represent. 


  • Take a course: Even if you’re qualified, you might not have much experience in this work field, taking a course about it beforehand will help you get comfortable with your new job and also reduce unwanted mishaps. There are plenty of free online courses available in various subjects.


  • Contact your friends and family: No matter how hard you try there will be moments where you might be discouraged. Speaking with family or friends about employment changes and how they affect you provides a secure environment for you to vent and relieve tension. Because these people know you best, they may be able to provide you with useful advice on how to adjust properly.


  • Be positive!: Having a positive attitude toward workplace changes might help you accept and adjust to them more easily. Consider the aim of changes in your workplace and how they can positively affect your job position and work environment to adopt a positive mindset. You can make it simpler to handle changes in the workplace by looking more for pros than cons.


  • Take days off when needed: Taking a personal day once changes have become a part of your work routine might help you decrease stress and acquire the energy you need to execute changes efficiently. This reduces your risk of burnout and allows you to return to work with a revitalised sense of productivity. Keep in mind that every change eventually becomes regular.

Studio Ghibli Against Artifical Brushstrokes

If you are into Anime or active on social media, you’ve likely heard of Studio Ghibli. Founded on June 15, 1985, this world-renowned Japanese animation studio has captivated audiences worldwide. From the 1988 film My Neighbour Totoro to the heavily accoladed 2023 film The Boy and the Heron, the works of Studio Ghibli are renowned for their comforting style of art, which sets them apart from other Japanese animations. These films and several other fan-favourites are the brainchildren of the studio’s honorary chairman, Hayao Miyazaki. While not all the studio’s works are his, they often follow a similar art style. His style portrays Japanese and Western elements, resembling watercolour paintings with soft pastel palettes. Each frame radiates comfort, making the visuals a work of art in themselves. Alongside Hayao Miyazaki, visionaries like Isao Takahata and Toshio Suzuki have also played crucial roles in shaping the Studio Ghibli productions we love and cherish today. All masterpieces ha...

Checkmating Barriers: Chess as a Sport for All

When FM Darpan Inani sits at a chessboard, he sees no pieces, yet he ‘sees’ every move. He is currently the best blind player in India and battles against sighted grandmasters throughout the world. He even brought India a gold medal at the Para Asian Games in 2023. Unlike other sports, chess requires a keen and focused mind rather than a perfectly oiled machine as a body. As Helen Keller once said, “The chief handicap of the blind is not blindness, but the attitude of seeing people towards them.” Chess challenges this attitude every day. Not many sports can be considered inclusive. The beauty of chess is seen in the diversity of the chess players; the pairing list is filled with names from different cultures, genders, ages and physical abilities. Numerous athletes with a range of disabilities have made it onto teams for competitions such as the World Chess Olympiad. The World Chess Federation (FIDE) is making constant efforts to equalise the playing field. FIDE is very dedicated to th...
