Working toward better engagement

Enjoying and remaining engaged with your job directly impacts your success and can positively influence your mental and physical health.

How you feel about your job can affect your energy level and ability to adapt to challenging situations. When you are engaged professionally, you may be less likely to experience excessive worry, sleep problems and higher levels of depression.

How to own your engagement

Many of us spend more than 1/3 of our day working, so here are some tips to help you feel more connected to work:

  • Become more aware of how much you can handle.
  • Establish a clear line of communication with your manager.
  • Be open to opportunities that will support your Publix career and growth.
  • Don’t be afraid to talk about your feelings.
  • And, most importantly, remember that you don’t have to be the best as long as you’re doing your best.

Getting the most out of your personal time can also help you stay more engaged at work. Learn to take time off to nurture and invest in your passions and relationships. A recent study showed that maintaining a healthy work-life balance improves job satisfaction and performance. It can also boost your life outside of work.
