Especially since your article also shows how the individuals themselves can take initiative to create happiness at work - for themselves, for their colleagues and for their customers. I'm a huge supporter of happiness at work as a responsibility of management, however it's a two way street and they will be more likely to support it, to "implement" it and be encouraged to maitain it, if the employees are also active creators of happiness rather than passive receivers. Anja Love it!

I thought that I would never be happy being a dental hygienist since this wasn't my own choice, it's my parent's. Whew! But then I learned to love the job, not because I pushed myself to love it but I continuously explore every new learning in my profession and this makes me look forward to go and practice.

It sounds like a lot of criteria, but as long as you apply to jobs that genuinely interest you rather than jobs for the sake of it to pay the bills, happiness at work is no problem at all :) I think its definitely possible to be happy at work as long as you’re doing a job that suits you, in an environment that suits you, with people that you get on with.

There is no doubt in my mind though, that encouraging happiness at work is of real value to any employer. Sites like yours go a long way to helping employers understand that importance, and dealing with the complexities of dealing with it. I was reading another blog this morning which may add to your list of happy jobs. Phil Gerbyshak added a post about happy beer brewers. http://www.bizzia.com/slackermanager/happy-employees-make-better-beer/ A short but interesting post as it illustrates that happiness at work is not just about getting a "dream job", but getting that job with an employer who cares about its people. Keep up your great work! Phil Hi Alex,

A short but interesting post as it illustrates that happiness at work is not just about getting a “dream job”, but getting that job with an employer who cares about its people.

Keep up your great work!
