Our understanding of the physical world grows ever deeper. Quantum physicists have taught us that simply observing matter can affect its activity. We know that bits of matter once bonded together remain "entangled" even when separated by great distances. We should remember from Physics 101 that matter likes to settle into its least active state (entropy).
What do these facts have to do with HR? It's simple: How people think about doing their jobs has implications that might be far broader than realized. If we accept the teachings of quantum physics at face value, then:
- Due to entanglement, how you go through your day will have an invisible, but perceptible impact on how the people you bond with feel every day. If you're having a bad day, at some point, many of your co-workers and loved ones will feel this fact.
- Much of our existence depends on what we choose it to be. The very concept of "making your day" has scientific backing. As the proverb says, "As you believe, so shall you achieve."
- Finally, unless you're excited, it's natural to use the least amount of energy possible to do a job. If you want to move yourself to a higher frequency, you have to get excited. Although some of us do this naturally, most people need a little motivation to get going. Don't underestimate the power of this motivation in your business and personal life.
Because any organization is a collection of individuals, these concepts apply to the group as a whole. A positive company culture means that there's a positive vibration among the workforce.
