Happiness at work is not a destination. It’s a journey.
“Happiness at work is closely correlated with a culture of greater performance and productivity as well as greater energy, better reviews, faster promotion, higher income, better health, and increased happiness with life. So it’s good for organizations and individuals, too.”, CEO of iOpener and author of Happiness at Work , Jessica Pryce-Jones tells Forbes.
We spend more time in the office with our co-workers than we spend time at home with our families. Most studies show that the vast majority of employees don’t feel happy at work, they are disengaged, reluctant to get up in the morning to spend the next 8-10 hours in a dreadful environment? Why does it have to be like that? Well, it doesn’t.
