Joy, happiness and jolliness are what we all seem to want – perhaps especially at this time of year.
And, since I’m writing this post in mid-December, it seems apropos to revisit a recent YahooNews article titled, 11 Things That Make Workers Happy.
Over the past few years, I’ve written about a number of these strategies and tactics, from using internal motivators, to embracing the idea of teleworking, to striking the right work-life balance.
As you read through this list, compiled by BusinessNewsDaily staff writer David Mielach, perhaps you can contemplate which of these can provide a focal point for your efforts, in January.
So what are 11 things that might make your workers happy?
“Isn’t this all a little excessive?” I hear some of you ask. Not when you consider that happy workers tend to perform better, and leave less.
It may be hard to achieve all of these, all the time, but perhaps each month January through November, we can focus on just one of these. Then, in December each year, we can reflect on how to fine-tune these principles for the next year.
