A vibrant positive work environment would create a sense of inner harmony for me. This was consistent with results in the Work Value Inventory, where I scored 16/16 for ‘fairness’ indicating my expectation for a workplace which treats workers equally. My previous manager in Pando co was an impartial employer who recruited individuals from different nationalities. I felt like everyone was being fairly trained and compensated.
