The Flow - the Interqualia profile

Mihály Csíkszentmihályi's definition of Flow

Flow is a beneficial, reproducible and accessible emotional state in which skills and challenges are combined to produce well-being and performance.

The emotional compass

The benefits of the person who lives from Flow:
- has a clear vision of the goal to be achieved.
- has immediate feedback on results.
- is autonomous and feels responsible.
- is perseverant and resistant to adversity (stress).
- is motivated by the activity itself.
- experiences pleasure and satisfaction.
- is involved, creative and successful.
- has self-confidence and develops a good self-esteem, an essential lever for progress and development (self-fulfillment)

The originality of the "Flow" concept is that it meets the needs of both organizations (commitment, creativity, performance, stress resistance) and individuals (self-esteem, recognition, pleasure and fulfillment)

The benefits of Flow for the organization and the teams

Responsible: contributes to develop a positive and attractive image of an employer who assumes its "social responsibility" by putting at the heart of its concerns the "Quality of Life at Work" and the prevention of the Health of its employees.
Ethical: While promoting the performance of the organization, it also contributes to the professional and personal development of the individual and to his or her well-being. In this sense, "profitability" is part of a "win-win" working relationship.
Economic: The emotional health of the individual contributes to the economic health of the organization: an employee in good emotional health is motivated, efficient, creative, and resistant to stress (reduction of direct and indirect costs related to occupational illness, absenteism, and presenteism).
