\u201cChoose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.\u201d That sentiment endures in fortune cookies, but otherwise flies in the face of society\u2019s attitude toward jobs, bosses, and the hours \u201ctrapped\u201d in the office. For too many workers in our culture, from laborers to leaders, work is not a \u201chappy place.\u201d Most employees enjoy Monday just about as much as Garfield the cat\u2014that is to say, not at all.<\/p>\n

The jokes about countdowns to Happy Hour or needing FM radio to dull the pain of work until quitting time have a sobering edge to them. They imply that work saps the life out of employees, draining their vitality and undercutting their ability to thrive. They certainly don\u2019t imply that it\u2019s possible, even beneficial, to be happier at work. Think of all the Pixar cartoons that feature men in gray suits laboring in gray cubicles, with life and color bursting outside the windows.<\/p>\n\n\n

If your works Sucks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Being unhappy at work can lead to dire consequences resulting in resignation, resentment, and even ill health. Those who deal with customers as well as colleagues can spread their negativity in both directions. That\u2019s certainly not good for business, therefore it is in the best interest of management to shift to an employee focus. That\u2019s not to imply that jobs should be free of challenge, conflict or stress. But it does mean that employers need to make an effort to create a culture where happiness can thrive; and where workers can band together to combat stressors and other threats to that well-being. One key way to accomplish this is by instructing through your own example: spearheading changes that contribute to a stronger workplace and healthier community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, many employers have shifted focus to instilling a sense of fulfillment and happiness among employees, because they recognize that it will play a positive role on their bottom line. Principles of \u201ccustomer centricity\u201d and employee engagement can merge into an approach that will increase performance, satisfaction and positivity, trickling down from the highest levels of leadership to the customer who absorbs the \u201cgood vibes\u201d that result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The role of Managers is vital<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How can managers encourage employees to expend that \u201cdiscretionary effort,\u201d or go the extra mile when it\u2019s not required? Making it a job you love is a great way to start. We\u2019ve gathered a few simple but effective strategies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Show recognition and appreciation for a job well done. This provides much-needed validation, and boosts the chances of similar effort in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Create opportunities for collaboration, teamwork, and sharing good news. Understanding \u201cwe\u2019re in this together\u201d boosts camaraderie, increases social time, and instills a shared sense of purpose and achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Make a point of helping colleagues; and encourage your employees to follow suit. Research shows it creates a \u201cvirtuous cycle\u201d that makes everyone happier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Take your lunch break\u2014and urge employees to take theirs. Even 20 minutes of fresh air, unhurried eating, or a general change of perspective can refresh and recharge workers for the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Establish benchmarks for progress; and celebrate when your team achieves them. Break up major projects into smaller steps, each one worthy of a pat on the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
