Happiness at Work: The Importance of a Positive Work Environment

Written by Vera Jardino | Jul 17, 2024 11:12:41 AM

In today's world where there is so much talk of emotional pay, we can't forget or put on the back burner the importance of a good, healthy working environment. A positive organizational culture is a differentiating factor in the market and is also an essential factor in retaining talent, which is why it will always go hand in hand with the company's strategy.

"I feel at home" even outside the company... it's a feeling enhanced by the comfort, unity and closeness within and between teams. A hug that doesn't look at hierarchies, know-how, sizes, colors or cultures, presents itself as a generator of commitment that leads us to a common goal: the success of the company and, consequently, of all of us individually.

One of the main characteristics of a good working environment is the existence of a good team spirit, which is not only measured by everyone working towards a common goal, but also by the smile we give to a colleague we don't know and whom we bump into in the corridor, by "giving a hand" to a colleague who is struggling to achieve their personal goal, by applauding a colleague who has achieved their personal goal, by constructive communication. All this, and much more, gives each of us greater emotional balance, the strength to carry on and a greater cultural commitment, the sum of which equals "Happiness".

Ultimately, the main objective is to reach the end of each working week, regardless of its vicissitudes, and feel "I'm HAPPY here!", always calm in the knowledge that the following week we will have a new opportunity to do better, to correct, to evolve, with the right people by our side, in a safe but challenging environment.

In conclusion, a good, inclusive and healthy working environment not only promotes engagement but also has a direct impact on the happiness and productivity of a company's center of success, its people.
