All Good Things: Happiness and Positivity In the Workplace

Before you begin to think that happiness and positivity are too sappy to waste your time, think about them for a minute.

Happiness is contagious, and it benefits the entire workplace.

1) Happiness encourages peaceful relations and interactions at work.

2) Happy employees are more productive, because their work becomes an outlet of creative enjoyment.

3) Happiness causes the work to flow more naturally, because stress is not present and communication is easy.

Now let’s talk about positivity. This is defined as “The quality or state of being positive”. So what’s so great about being positive?

A positive mindset is one of invincibility. Rather than a “glass-half-full” thought process, positivity thrives on the good and compartmentalizes the bad. The energy gained from our successes sets a fire to the minor letdowns of our failures, giving us the energy to address them without stress.

1) Just as with happiness, a positive mindset boosts our productivity at work by giving us clarity and focus.

2) Positivity helps us get along with people in our private lives, not just our co-workers. It is a winning attitude towards life.

3) At work, positivity eliminates the discouragement of failure. We achieve more sales and growth (who doesn’t like to buy from a positive person?).

4) Our minds are engaged, giving us more creativity to solve problems.

The benefits of happiness and positivity are endless, and you will notice the results very rapidly.
