Hard day at the office? Entrepreneur and happiness expert Alexander Kjerulf argues for a transformative approach to the 9 to 5. Managers should prioritize workplace happiness, as research shows that happier individuals are more productive, innovative, motivated, and better at customer service and handling change. While it may seem elusive, achieving happiness at work is feasible. It’s not about constant cheerleading or eradicating all negatives; rather, it’s about finding joy despite challenges. Studies from 30 countries reveal that workplace happiness hinges on results and relationships. This book offers practical advice for enhancing both. You'll discover strategies for managing difficult bosses, dealing with bullies, and overcoming bureaucratic hurdles. Real-life stories illustrate the impact of positivity, such as a temp worker spreading kindness, nurses transforming a ward's atmosphere, and a programmer revitalizing his department's culture. Kjerulf draws on his experience as co-founder of a Danish IT company and as a consultant for major brands like Hilton, Microsoft, and Lego. His insights have been featured in prominent media outlets. This book is a vital reminder of the significance of health and wellbeing at work.
