Be happier in work with these tips
Work takes up a lot of our life, but we need to be there right. So it's important that we can enjoy it and be happy there.
Here we have the top 10 tips for a happier workplace from The Office Group, which will help you feel more positive with yourself.
1) Be social: Encourage staff to talk casually – a chatty office is a happy office.
2) Be creative: Offer communal areas bathed in light, it’ll promote creative thinking
3) Offer flexible working: Let employees work away from the office for a day a week, it’ll boost their happiness and productivity.
4) Take breaks: Make employees take regular breaks, 10 minutes of fresh air will get them working harder.
5) Hot desk: Changing your perspective on the office, will change your perspective on work.
6) Do something nice: random acts of workplace kindness hugely boost employee wellbeing so give someone an off-the-cuff compliment!
7) Be green and run charity events: spread the feel good factor by organising fundraising initiatives like cake sales and fun runs.
8) Free food and drink: increase morale by feeding your workers, it keeps everyone well fuelled and also encourages interaction in the kitchen.
9) Work hard, play harder: have an office ping pong table or arcade machine - play opens up the creative side of your brain and helps you relax.
10) Massage (no, we’re not talking about your boss’s ego!) - massage therapy reduces stress and increases productivity, it also reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
