According to Statistics, employees
are more engaged if they are happy at work and that's why more organizations
are focusing on how the different department in the company can be more
relaxing, satisfying and suitable to everyone whether it's about the salary,
benefits or facility especially right now that millennials is playing a big
part in the organization and will be the powerful source of manpower and can
command because of the demand.
A 2013 Gallup study, which reported data from more than 180
million people, found that just 13% of us consider ourselves to be “happily
engaged at work.” Those who do rate themselves as happy are 36% more motivated,
six times more energized, and twice as productive as their unhappy
counterparts.
The good news is that just 50% of
happiness is influenced by genetics while the rest is up to you. Meaning, we
can choose whether to be happy at work or not anyway, happiness depends on the
person, it's a state of mind. You have a choice to be happy and well, it
depends on the mindset of the individual.
When it comes to making yourself
happy, you need to learn what works for you. Once you discover
this, everything else tends to fall into place. And making yourself happy
doesn’t just improve your performance; it’s also good for your health which is
actually everyone's goal, to stay healthy especially in the Philippines where
negative news from politics or traffic is actually, we don't have any
control.
From the forum attended by a Filipino renowned economist,
some of the Sunrise industries for 2016 are as follows; Health, Education,
Telecommunication and Business Process Outsourcing which came to a question,
Are some industries destined to have a happy workforce, while others will be
left with sullen workers who are unhappy with their career prospects? One
possible answer to the question comes from research conducted by TINYpulse,
