Photo competition: work in pictures

It's up to you to capture what contributes to your well-being at work.

As part of Quality of Life at Work Week, the UM is launching a photo competition. The theme: "Work in pictures".

Objective: to ask questions, share a vision and capture in photos what represents quality of life at work.

Before you get started, here are a few ideas for thinking about quality of life in the workplace.

Quality of life at work (QWL) is the set of conditions that enable us to feel good in our professional environment. It encompasses the meaning given to missions, the quality of relations between colleagues, the content of tasks, equality and inclusion, recognition of skills... and that little something that makes us really want to do our job.

Here are a few examples to inspire you:

1. Diversity of experience: show the variety of professions and ways of finding meaning in work.
2. Collaborative moments: illustrating the importance of teamwork and relationships between colleagues.
3. Work-life balance: emphasize the importance of a good work-life balance.
4. Recognition and appreciation: capturing moments when agents' efforts are highlighted.
5. Health and safety: demonstrating attention to safety and physical and mental well-being.
6. Innovation and creativity: illustrating how a stimulating environment encourages new ideas.
