Don’t “Leave It at the Door”: a real-life example of BIGGBY® COFFEE’s Purpose in action.
Posted on November 30, 2022
Have you ever had something going on in your personal life and felt the need to shield it from your workplace? You could believe that because you had once heard the phrase, “Leave it at the door,” from your boss or another leader throughout your career.
This phrase is used as a tactic to encourage employees to suppress the specifics of what is happening outside of work, and unfortunately, this practice may leave them feeling full of shame. It can force employees to feel as if they must hide parts of themselves to feel accepted and could threaten their overall sense of belonging.
What if your workplace could be where you didn’t have to leave your personal life at the door? What if there is a better way to do business? What if there was a way to run a profitable business AND care for the people you employ?
Every person has a fundamental need to have a sense of belonging. The workplace can intentionally create a culture and build practices that support this type of community. BIGGBY® COFFEE has been in the profession of doing just that. BIGGBY® COFFEE’s Purpose is to support you in building a life you love. I have seen that purpose in action in so many ways throughout the years, and most recently, I witnessed it when I needed it the most.
