ergonexus LLC, takes a functional approach to work-life consulting for individuals, whether hired or self-employed, as well as for owners and managers of organizations.

Benefits of the ergonexus approach:

• For individuals:
  • Re-establish connection with one’s work nature.
  • Improve spontaneous expression of innate talents and productive impulses.
  • As a result increase personal satisfaction, creativity and productivity.

• For organizations:
  • Establish—or re-establish—health in the organization by identifying and helping it connect with its natural core function.
  • Align its activities with the core function.
  • As a result improve organizational market share, creativity and productivity.

The ergonexus approach is based on a revolutionary understanding of the nature of work and work organizations:

•  Work is a spontaneous, natural, biological function that needs specific outlets in each person.
•  Work organizations spontaneously form to express some human need and/or desire.

The ergonexus approach:

• Supports work health:

  • Satisfaction is the basis of health in work (and love).
  • Work satisfaction comes from productive discharge of work-energy.
  • Satisfaction results from the extent to which the individual is able to express his or her talents in connection with the actual function that needs to be discharged in the job.
  • Satisfaction reinforces productivity.
  • Satisfying work relationships are the basis of a healthy work culture.
  • Work relationships and the culture must support individual satisfaction.
  • Genuine organizational expansion with productivity and profitability are the equivalent of individual satisfaction and joy in work. 

• Overcomes work dysfunction:

  • Both individuals and organizations have experiences during their development that can lead to chronic defensive reactions (in the character of an individual and the culture of an organization). These may interfere with full connection to the expression of one’s individual work nature or discharge of an organization’s core function.
  • Such blocks lead to work stasis, diminished satisfaction and reduced productivity.
  • Productive work energy is tied up in the logjams and needs to be released.
  • Such logjams serve a function.
  • Understanding and addressing rather than ignoring or bypassing such logjams is key to functional consulting.

  • A functional approach means thinking as nature functions based on observing what actually works rather than what we think should work.
  • When a logjam forms:
    • The river will flow by itself once the logs are removed.
    • Identifying how the logs prevent movement is essential.
    • Removing the logs is the heart of a functional approach to restoring natural work function and requires care in its implementation.
    • Pushing the logs to restore the river’s flow is impossible and counterproductive.
  • The actual effects of someone’s actions rather than their intentions in a particular situation are what matters. 

• For an organization includes:

  • Evaluating and clarifying each member’s specific work function in relation to their role and position.
  • Aligning individual work talents to fit the work function.
  • Addressing what interferes with genuine contact between members of a work team.
  • Identifying destructive members of an organization and facilitates their removal in constructive ways.

In summary the ergonexus approach:

• ✓ Identifies an individual’s healthy, work nature and/or a work organization’s natural core function,
• ✓ determines what interferes with their expression,
• ✓ overcomes those obstacles to allow the natural work process to move on its own and with it improve satisfaction, creativity and productivity.
