Authentic employees are more likely to work in jobs that fit their core values. They do their work in such a way that they feel congruent, that their work fits who they are. You want to encourage authenticity because it supports and encourages engagement. Engaged employees perform better, and the more they can contribute to their own why as authentic beings by working on the organization’s why, the more likely they are to want to stay with your organization. When team members are able to accept each others’ authenticity, this has a positive effect on both the individual and the team. That requires a safe environment.
