Tips to be happy at work

We spend the majority of our lives working our dream jobs. But have you ever asked yourself: “Am I happy at work?”. Unhappiness at work can lead to low productivity and lack of focus, it can also increase your levels of stress. 

Here are our tips to be happier at work:

• Maintain a balance between work and life

A balanced work-life is the key recipe for happiness. If you spend the majority of your time working, you should make some adjustments and try to get some quality time for yourself. 

• Keep social networking

Besides all the perks that we work hard for, getting to know and be friends with your colleagues is also another perk. Invite your colleagues to lunch or have a catch up over coffee on the weekend..you will feel less lonely and might enjoy being at work. 

• Speak up

If there is some reason why you aren’t happy at work (workload, working hours…), it may be the time that you should talk to your employer. In the end, your employer want you to be happy so you can be productive at work.

• Self-care

Never forget to take care of yourself no matter how busy your job is. Allow yourself to be relaxed after work, get a massage occasionally or enjoy your “you” time. By regularly treating yourself, you will feel refreshed and ready to go back to work. 

• Organise your work area

Having an organized work area will help you to work more effectively and less stressful. Clean your desk and put some nice plants or your family photos around you…anything to make you feel happy while you are at your desk.
