Enhancing Happiness and Well-being in the Workplace: Top Ten Ways to Cultivate a Positive Work Envir

These are the factors that will help you find happiness at work.

1. Choose to Be Happy at Work

Happiness is largely a choice. I can hear many of you arguing with me, but it's true. You can choose to be happy at work. Sound simple? Yes. But, simplicity is often profoundly difficult to put into action. I wish all of you had the best employer in the world, but, face it, you may not. So, think positively about your work. Dwell on the aspects of your work you like. Avoid negative people and gossip. Find coworkers you like and enjoy and spend your time with them. Your choices at work largely define your experience.

Good one, Bipin.

One small thing to add: Start your day with a small prayer. You will feel the difference and the assured feeling that you are being taken care of. :-)

"It Goes On" is very true, but if it goes on with acceptance, then it is more pleasurable and smooth. Very good write-up. It will definitely boost up.

Hi Bipin,

Of late, I have been surfing your blogs frequently and must admit they are all brilliant!

Keep up the good work! :)

Very nice post, Vipin. Thanks for that! I am reading this book nowadays: "Success is never ending, failure is never final" - Robert Schuller.

Interesting book; it helps us in understanding and handling each and every situation. :)

Dear Bipin,

This is one of the good materials you have posted. I will definitely use it for the benefit of my students.

You are right, happiness is what you make of it. Even if you hate your job, you need to find one small thing that makes you feel good about it and hold on for dear life. We need that paycheck. However, we cannot avoid unpleasant people, especially when we are left supervising them, and whatever they are doing is not against any law. These people are just demotivated, and as much as a manager can find something to motivate them - upward movement and more money are what people want, and it is near impossible to appeal to the gallant - it is like beating a dead horse. If that is not enough, we work in a building that is deemed sick with poor health conditions; many get more than a paycheck every month.
