If you want to be efficient and effective at work, be happy. You might think it's a joke, but it's true. Happy employees are more focused on their work, stay in their job, take less sick leaves and realize their true potential. Forbes states that happy people at work are healthier and get to achieve goals and success faster.
"We find that human happiness has large and positive causal effects on productivity," a team said, led by Andrew Oswald, a professor of economics at Warwick Business School, according to The Guardian. So if that's how it is to be happy at work, then why not always have a smile painted on your face?
Try these tactics to be happy in your workplace:
1. Have the sense of meaning.
Being happy can make you feel your self-worth. Employees who understand their positive impact among other people tend to be happier. They are also more productive too.
2. Look for a best buddy at work.
INC stated that, according to a Harvard Business Review, those that have friends at work find their job more enjoyable, fun, satisfying and worthwhile. The relationships can also create camaraderie, support systems and sense of loyalty
3. Be future oriented.
If you are always focused on your goals, you tend to make better decisions in life, and get more satisfying results. Your journey will surely be fruitful as you walk along the path directed to your long-term plans.
4. Do not multitask.
Despite the saying that multitasking is effective, it just wastes more time than it saves. So if you want to be happier, more productive and stress free, concentration is the key. Focus on one task at a time and you'll notice everything in your checklist will be done in no time.
So don't frown anymore. There is always a reason for you to smile. Don't dwell too much on what bugs your mind and emotions. Remember that at the end of the day, everything will be better and so will your performance be at work.
