职场人是选择喧闹还是选择幽静?

http://china.BagsNet.com   2007-04-29  来源:中国英才网

        通常,在霓红闪烁,快节奏的城市生活中工作的人跟在郊区安静环境中工作的人之间有明显的心理和文化差异。我们当中有许多人工作在闹市里确享受着幽静的办公环境,舒适的乘车环境和新鲜的空气,而有一些不在城市工作的人却时常感觉我们正在迷失在城市的喧嚣和快节奏的生活方式的欢乐里。答案没有对错,只有什么样的工作适合你。是生活在城市里?还是选择幽静的郊区?以下的内容有助于你找到合适的地方。

  首先,确定什么对你是最重要的,这将有助于你发现自己的大本营到底在哪?把影响你工作的与居住地点有关的要素都罗列下来。因此,如果你是住在市中心的话,也就意味着要忍受拥挤的交通,忍受长时间的高压力和缺少私人空间。但是你可以拥有更大的社交圈,更多的工作报酬和更多消磨剩余时间的方式。同样的,假如你在郊区工作,你上班的时候可能不会那么拥挤,但也意味着你的生活没有城市里的丰富多采,拿者更低的薪水和拥有更少的晋升机会。

  切忌以偏概全,当然,又得抓住要点。技巧在于对目前的工作情况有所评定,然后考虑考虑这些因素里面哪一项对你是最重要的。假如扩大社交圈是排在第一位的话,那么你就得为自己找一个更有利的环境。

  有可能一旦你作出评定以后,你对该把家安在哪儿和最适合你工作的环境就清晰了。但是我们经常想完全齐美就比较难了。随着科技发展,越来越多的求职者渴望拥有更灵活的工作方式,这就意味着在工作和生活方面兼顾起来越来越简单了。下面的一些提示有助于你改变自己的工作方式来更好的适应你的生活方式。

  考虑一下除了工作地点以外的活动范围以及改变一下你的工作时间安排以免你每天都要忍受拥挤的交通。例如,你是几天出去活动一次还是通通只在周末出去活动?怎样花五天的时间来做完你本来要满满的四天就可以做完的工作?

  是否考虑过安两个小窝呢?许多人在星期中间工作生活在城市里,只是周末回到郊外的房子里。假如你经济上承受得住,可以考虑安排个临时住所雇个人帮你料理杂事。

  如果你工作自由或者你是个自由职业人,不妨考虑一下每个月出去活动活动一次。不必要去那些特别奢侈昂贵的地方,只是给自己点时间出去散散心,看看风景而已。如果你住在郊外,而又想多一些自由的话,上面那条建议也同样适合你。而其他的一些选择同样具有价值,比如:考虑一下建立两个属于自己的大本营,在你自己的公司或是在别的地方,这样做可以让你换换环境。你的工作是否为你提供出差的机会,比如说去开会或是去培训。如果没有这些机会,你是否会换一份能够自由多一点外出活动的机会的工作?

  不管是什么改变了你现在的想法,重要的是你已经在思考了就要尽可能在做重大决定之前尽可能多的找出不同的工作环境。与跟你的工作环境不同的人,你的朋友和家人聊聊吧,让他们很诚恳的指出自己目前的优势和缺点。记住,不要老是觉得别人的总是比自己的好!

City Lights or Village Life?

Monster’s Career Life Coach

Traditionally, there’s been a physical and a cultural divide between people who work in the bright lights and the fast pace of a city environment, and those whose jobs are based somewhere quieter or more remote. Many of us who work in the city fantasise about a working world with a slower pace, less commuting and more fresh air, while those of us who are not city-based sometimes feel that we are missing out on the buzz and excitement of a fast-paced lifestyle. There’s no right or wrong answer, or course: its a case of what works best for you. Here’s how to make sure you’re in the right place.

First of all, what is most important to you: this will help you to see where your main base should be. Make a list of all the features of your working life which are affected by where you are based. So, if you work in the city centre, that might mean a long commute, long hours, high stress levels and lack of privacy. But it might also mean a great social life, better pay, and more choice about how you spend your free time. Similarly, if you work out of town, you might have a shorter or less stressful journey to work, a healthier environment and feel more part of a community. On the downside, you might have less variety, less money and less opportunity for promotion or career change.

These are sweeping generalisations, of course, but you get the point. The trick is to assess your current work situation, and then think about which of those factors is most important to you. If a great social life is number one on your priority list, then you need to make sure that you work somewhere where that is accessible to you.

It may be that, once you’ve done this assessment, it’s clear where you should be based and the kind of environment that works best for you. But often we want to have a bit of everything – and that’s increasingly achievable. Advances in technology and the increasing willingness of employers to embrace more flexible ways of working mean that it’s getting easier to have the best of both worlds. Here are some ideas to help you think about how you can adjust your working patterns to fit better with the lifestyle you want.

If you’re city-based and crave a bit more peace and quiet:

think about the scope for moving further away from your workplace and changing your working hours so that you don’t have a long commute every day. For example, could you work from home a couple of days a week, or work a “compressed” week, where you work all of your contracted hours in 4 days instead of 5?

would it be possible for you to have 2 bases? Lots of people work and stay in the city during the week, and go to their main home at weekends. If you’re resourceful, it might be possible to set up a reciprocal arrangement with someone who does the opposite of what you do.

if you work flexitime (or even if you don’t), think about trying to fit in one long weekend away every month. It doesn’t have to be anything especially glamorous or expensive, it’s just about getting some time to yourself and a change of scenery.

If you’re based away from the city, but would like a bit more action, some of the suggestions above also apply. It’s also worth thinking about some other options, e.g.:

explore the options for a secondment, either within your own company or to another one, which would given you the opportunity for a change of environment.

does your role offer any scope for occasional travel, for example conferences or courses? If not, could you move to a role where you were able to get out and about a bit more?

Whatever changes you’re considering, it’s important to “dip your toe in the water” and find out as much as possible about a different work environment before you make any big changes. Talk to friends and family whose work situation is different from you, and get them to be really honest about the downsides and well as the upsides. Remember, the grass is not always greener on the other side!
