What is Work Happy?

Staff Engagement? Employee Motivation? Empowerment?

So much is discussed. So much is written.

Various Definitions. Annotations galore.

Covering  innumerable books and a plethora of articles.

But really, what is “WorkHappy”?

To me, it is simply “I love my job”.

It is, ” I dance my way to work. Spring in my step and a smile on my lips.”

Eager anticipation.

To start my day with a to-do List.

To decide on my outputs of the day.

To take each task and put it in the “complete” basket.

To have minor challenges cropping in and experience a sublime satisfaction of overpowering it.

To have stimulating conversations with my colleagues.

To steal time for some fun gossip during a coffee break (who doesn’t?).

To wrack brains and shout “eureka” when I come up with a creative solution.

To enjoy the smiles of my team members when the hard efforts finally pay off.

To create an enthusiastic, ever-smiling team to work with.

To walk around soaking in the happy environment.

To enjoy shouting out ‘hellos’ to cross departmental colleagues.

To be able to contribute to a system.

And to say at the end of the day with a smile on lips and a spring in the step, “See you all tomorrow.”
