A long time ago, she saw a post on LinkedIn that stated in a survey, Gallup found that employees who talk passionately about their work have 12 conditions in their workplace, and eight of them The following are listed:
1. I know exactly what was asked of me
2. I have the tools I need.
3. I have the opportunity to do my best every day
4. I am honored to achieve a good result
5. I am an important person from an important organization, and I feel proud
6. At work, they count on my ideas and opinions
7. I have the opportunity to learn and grow at work
8. I have best friends at work
….
Considering that I worked in one of the largest companies for four years and six months and started my career in that company as an intern, and ended up attending a management office, I wanted to share my experiences with you.

1. I know exactly what I was asked for:
One of the significant differences between prominent startups and startups, which is partly true of in-house startups, is that people in medium-sized organizations sometimes rely heavily on their job descriptions. Each Outside activity is considered futile, while those activities may have crucial aspects for the individual, the project, the product, and the whole organization.
That is why many companies recognized worldwide today are welcoming out-of-the-box activities aimed at improving the individual, the organization, or the processes. Even leading companies like Honda have completely abandoned job descriptions (Source: Honda Book of American Success Stories).

In these organizations, “what is asked of the person” is defined in a nutshell: Do your work in a way that is a continuous improvement of your day-to-day activities and your constant vision.
If they have a certain degree of independence, startup environments and inter-enterprise startups are all based on a shared effort to do all the work. People make every effort to make things work and do not refuse to help each other.

2. I have the tools I need:
Due to the organizational experience and teamwork in the early stages of launching one of the failed startups (of course, a concise collaboration), I divided the tools and tools needed to work. The ones in the organization/company and the ones to get.
The resources (tools) we need for our day-to-day work, creations, and side projects are sometimes unavailable to us, but they may be in the organization. These tools, or better to say, access to those tools, are outside of your reach, so we conclude that the way to access those tools and devices is to interact with people in a way that makes them give you a sense of usefulness and somehow be a part of the team.
Unfortunately, I have seen in some cases that people do not make an effort to get the resources they need and act passively and are “waiting for someone to give them the tools or they will not do the job.”
The exciting thing is that while analyzing the Gallup Institute’s case studies, we can point out the part of our soft abilities we need to enhance and plan for our growth.

3. I have the opportunity to do my best every day:
Opposite this sentence, another sentence states, “inability to do the job best.” Why can’t I do my job right?
Do I not have the necessary supplies? Is my work interrupted?
These questions can be asked in large numbers. But the most crucial step in achieving the “do it your best” goal is to ask the individual/team/organization these and many other questions and find the correct answer for them.
So it is also essential to be proactive in an organization. They should be able to pay attention to the smallest of questions and ask their reasons, either answer them themselves or pass these questions on to the appropriate channels through the relevant channels.

As we can see, to achieve these goals, organizations and individuals work together on two scales. One cannot expect reform if either of these two powerful arms of the organization fails to do their job.
And more importantly, people feel more like the organization when they see the reforms made by paying attention to their opinions. If however, people are either forced to do so or refuse to do so if the expectation is to receive feedback and ask questions.
