How many of us are really happy at work? Not many at all, according to survey after survey.
Do you recognise any of these?
stress
isolation
overwork
long hours
unfair criticism
difficulties with productivity
demands to achieve more with less
ever increasing workloads and targets
feeling under-valued or under-rewarded
a struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance
limited chances for self or professional development
Surely work should be about more than these, and it can be. We can all enjoy satisfying, challenging, rewarding work, whilst living rounded, meaningful lives. Many people are already, in happy workplaces around the world, guided by enlightened leaders. Are you one? Do you want to become one?
As John Ruskin said: "In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed": They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it.
