We’ve shared lots of ways to create more happiness at work – but now it’s your turn to get creative.
Your mission this Monday is to:
- Come up with something that will make you or someone else a little happier at work
- Do it
- Come back here and tell us what you did and how it worked in a comment
All clear? Awesome. Go!
We, at Hppy Apps, decided to take on the challenge of having a Happy Monday! One of our happy moments of the day will be to have lunch together.
Here are some of the other things we have planned for today – http://www.gethppy.com/happiness-at-work/welcome-to-happy-monday/
Thanks for keeping us on top of our happiness news! Have a great day!
For 13 years, I’ve kept a tall glass canister on my desk filled with M&Ms. It essentially made my desk a port in the storm during stressful times. It may not be the healthiest happiness generator, but it sure seems to convert a lot of frowns and scowls to smiles.
During a major change in the company I worked for, we started “Fun Fridays” to boost morale and workplace happiness. Employees were put into teams (we created teams of people who normally had no or minimal work interaction with each other). Each team was assigned a month to host a Fun Friday for the other employees. They were given a small budget and general guidelines (such as food must be served, there had to be entertainment, they had to stay within budget, and all employees on the team had to participate). The result was improved morale and happiness. Employees got to know each other better and were “required” to stop working one Friday each month to have FUN. It was a huge success!
