Joy at work may seem elusive or even out of reach at this moment because let’s face it, things have been rough. But there is reason to be optimistic. There’s a lot of it.
The coronavirus pandemic has changed people’s lives forever. Not only did it bring havoc in the health scenario but also to the economy. Frankly speaking, it’s one of those occurrences that we’ll tell our grandchildren about, similar to how life altered during World Wars I and II or the Great Depression. It’s bigger than many earlier societal revolutions, not just because of its devastating effects, but also because it has impacted so many of us at once, changing every element of life from the most important (job, money, health) to the most ordinary. We’ve been in a state of instability for a long time, with news of forwarding advances being followed by news of backward steps.
Meanwhile, finding happiness at work might be difficult. As the old adage goes, “Find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life”. This might appear too wonderful to be true. Work is, after all… work. It’s generally thought of as drudgery, something that has to be done in order to pay the mortgage, buy the medications and do the other important things in life. However, this approach leaves a lot out.
Work, in fact, can be a source of joy. It can provide a sense of purpose and meaning, as well as opportunities for challenge and development, and amazing connections. Nothing less is acceptable, and a shift in our expectations can go a long way towards achieving this feeling of happiness.
What is the Importance of A Happy Working Experience?
“Happy Employee = Happy workplace”
Humans spend 80% of their time at work. This implies that we spend a major portion of our life at work. So if this is true, what are we doing about it? My question is, how are you working? Is your work bringing you joy? Do you have a happy working environment because our working experiences have a huge impact on our life? It’s true!
Our job experiences have an impact on not just our professional life, but also our personal lives too. If we’re dealing with rudeness or high levels of stress at work, it’s impossible to share our best selves with our families, friends, and life partners. A joyful working experience brings back the joy to our families. Not only this but workplace stress has a bad impact on our sleep too.
When employment isn’t enjoyable, it can have far-reaching consequences like poor performance. Likewise, the inverse is true. When things go well at work, it can have far-reaching good consequences for the rest of our life. Troubled times can enable us to see things in new ways, and fresh and expanded perspectives are often beneficial.
Team building is the need of the hour for employers who wish to make their team more productive, focused, and enjoy greater work engagement.
