Podcasts about happiness at work

Clarify your purpose — and stop wasting time.The new year gives us an opportunity to reflect on who we are and who we want to be. As we set resolutions and prepare for evolutions, this special four-part series on communication, happiness, and well-being explores practical ways to enhance our lives through better communication, deeper connections, and more meaningful choices.As Cassie Holmes knows, how we spend our time has a big impact on our happiness and well-being. For her, that means focusing on the things not just immediately in front of us, but those that most closely align with our purpose."When I say purpose, what I mean is what really drives you," explains Holmes, a professor at UCLA Anderson School of Management and author of Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most. Living a happier and more fulfilled life, she says, rests on using purpose to drive our decisions. “Once you clarify for yourself: what is your purpose? What is your why? Then you can use that as a filter [for] where you should be spending your time.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Holmes and host Matt Abrahams explore practical strategies for being more purposeful with our time. From email management to relationship building, Holmes shares research-backed approaches for achieving greater happiness through intentional choices.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

'Mom, why don't you just write it like you talk to me?' When Laura Hamill set out to write a book about the subject she knew best - the subject she'd spent years researching in theory and practice - she naturally drew on all the studies, statistics and evidence she'd gathered together to support her argument.  Turns out, that's not what the reader needed. (And it wasn't just her editor who told her that, it was her son, too.) Those in organizations with a problematic culture don't need research studies, they need help. Laura had to learn how to step out from behind the screen of academic writing, how to own her experience and her opinion, and to sit with the discomfort of uncertainty and self-doubt that involves throughout the writing process.  The result is a book that allows leaders and indeed anyone at any level to look beyond the words stencilled on the lobby walls to see how the real culture - what's expressed in how people speak and behave - is aligned with strategy, and what to do about it if it's not. 

Imagine stepping into a workplace every day where the atmosphere is vibrant, the energy is contagious, and employees are genuinely excited to be there. Sounds dreamy, right? A happy workplace is not just a feel-good concept; it's a critical factor for business success. When employees feel good about what they do and enjoy being part of their team, their satisfaction and productivity skyrocket. With Special Guest: Renee Silverman, Owner, Irv's Luggage In this episode, we will explore the importance of creating a happy workplace, define what it entails, and provide actionable strategies to nurture happiness within your team. For managers, human resources professionals, and leadership, this guide will offer insights and practical tips to transform your workplace into a hub of positivity and productivity. Defining a Happy Workplace What Constitutes a Happy Workplace Environment? Creating a happy workplace goes beyond surface-level perks like free coffee or casual Fridays. It's about fostering an environment where employees feel valued, respected, and motivated. A happy workplace is characterized by strong relationships, open communication, and a sense of purpose among employees. It's where people can thrive both personally and professionally. BACON Strategies for Creating a Happy Workplace B - Build a Positive Company Culture A - Acknowledge and Appreciate C - Communicate Openly and Transparently O - Offer Opportunities for Growth N - Nurture Work-Life Balance A healthy work-life balance is key to maintaining employee happiness. Encourage flexible working hours, remote work options, and regular breaks to help employees manage their personal and professional lives effectively. When employees feel supported in balancing their responsibilities, they are more likely to be satisfied and productive. Tips for Leading by Example and Promoting Positivity • Be Transparent • Show Empathy • Encourage Collaboration The Benefits of a Happy Workplace Improved Employee Retention and Recruitment A happy workplace significantly reduces employee turnover rates. When employees feel satisfied and valued, they are more likely to stay with the organization. Additionally, a positive workplace culture attracts top talent, making it easier to recruit skilled professionals who align with the company's values. Enhanced Team Performance and Creativity Happy employees are more motivated and engaged, leading to improved team performance. They are also more likely to think creatively and come up with innovative solutions to challenges. A positive work environment fosters a sense of ownership and pride in one's work, driving teams to achieve their best. Positive Impact on Company Reputation and Bottom Line A happy workplace contributes to a positive company reputation. When employees are satisfied, they become brand ambassadors, sharing their positive experiences with others. This enhances the company's image and attracts potential clients and partners. Furthermore, increased employee productivity and reduced turnover directly impact the company's bottom line, leading to higher profitability. Creating a happy workplace is not just a feel-good initiative; it's a strategic approach to enhancing employee satisfaction, engagement, and productivity. By prioritizing happiness in the workplace, organizations can reap the benefits of improved retention, enhanced team performance, and a positive company reputation. Managers, human resources professionals, and leaders play a crucial role in fostering a happy workplace. By implementing the strategies outlined in this blog post and taking actionable steps, you can transform your workplace into a thriving hub of positivity and success. Start making positive changes today and watch as your employees flourish and your organization thrives.

Happiness seems as elusive and subjective at work as empathy. But there is a link between the two, and we're going to get into that today! My guest is Dr. Tracy Brower, a PhD sociologist studying work-life fulfillment and happiness. Today we discuss what happiness at work means, how happiness is linked to empathy, and the research around what happy workplaces experience in terms of engagement, retention, and performance. Tracy shatters the myths of happiness as a constant state. While we can't "make people happy" we can create the conditions for happiness. She shares the five measurable conditions for happiness and we discuss the Paradox of Happiness, the benefits of post-traumatic growth, the current loneliness epidemic and the role workplace cultures can play, and the two important components of what it means to thrive. Tracy offers ways you can create connections as a leader - and you'll love the conversation near the end about how leaders don't have to take on all the responsibility for this in their culture by themselves! To access the episode transcript, please click on the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.com Key Takeaways:Tracy's Big Five conditions for happiness are: Having a sense of purpose, Connection with other people, Opportunity for learning, growth and challenge, Performing really well, and Gratitude.Sometimes you will have to do work you don't want to do. Your work won't always be fulfilling. But that doesn't mean your career or workplace cannot be nurturing, engaging, and fulfilling despite that work.Thriving always includes an element of striving. There are positive challenges, and positive growth that come out of difficult situations. "It's actually counterproductive to measure happiness by itself, and the more we think about happiness as its own end, the less likely we are to accomplish it, statistically." — Dr. Tracy Brower Episode References: The Empathy Edge episodesLogan Mallory: How a Culture of Gratitude Boosts Engagement and Mental HealthJamie Greenwood: Why Empathy for Others Starts with Compassion for YourselfShasta Nelson: Why Successful Leaders Encourage Work FriendshipsFrom Our Partner:Download the 2024 Ninth Annual State of Workplace Empathy study from Businessolver: www.businessolver.com/edge Discover more valuable content from Businessolver on The Benefits Pulse vodcast: www.businessolver.com/benefits-pulse About Dr. Tracy Brower, VP Workplace Insights, SteelcaseDr. Tracy Brower is a PhD sociologist studying work-life fulfillment and happiness.

Are you struggling to find happiness at work — or in your professional life? Ashley and Sumi are here with a lot of real talk as they unpack an issue that a lot of us women face. It starts with reevaluating where you want to end up on the corporate ladder in terms of what will provide you with the most happiness. That can lead to questioning whether you are even on the right ladder — which may seem like a luxury of privilege you can't afford when you're providing for your family. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't start enjoying life now, because that is what we are fighting for, now — as our hosts so eloquently put it. It's about equal equality, and equal opportunity, and as women rewrite the rules, they need to do with some enjoyment in their lives!What this looks like is having a squad in the boardroom who can call out when you aren't getting validation for your idea. It's about transition sentences like “Building off of what So and So said” that gets you taken seriously as a woman of color in meetings where a ‘mediocre white male' is hogging the limelight. Developing an authoritative voice, not second-guessing yourself, and taking yourself seriously are some of the tools that we can use to rewrite the rules of how we conduct ourselves, leading to more personal happiness and a resultant shift in the power dynamics. There's much more inside this authoritative episode of Women Rewriting the Rules. It's time to be unapologetically yourself!“It might actually be more enjoyable for me to sort of ‘reset' how I'm thinking about building my career, that would allow me to feel more happiness in that.” ~ Ashley“Loving what you do takes effort.” ~ SumiIn This Episode:How The Great Resignation is affecting women of colorWhere do you want to end up on the corporate ladder?Is this even the right ladder?
