Happiness provides everyone positive attitude and makes us stronger while dealing with difficult situations and day by day routines. For example if you are happy, fulfilling a task is more pleasant and maybe you will finish it faster than in another situation.

Let’s consider the following situations:

A. Your boss has prepared for you a new project and he says: you have to fulfill task 1 until 10 am, task 2 until 12 pm, task 3 until 3 pm etc. At 12 pm you can take one hour break for lunch. And this is not all. While completing your tasks, the boss is regularly checking your work and it’s keeping an eye on your work.

B. But what if your boss comes and says: This is the new project and you have to finish it until Friday. And that’s all. It’s up to you how you organize the work, how much time you spend on a task and when you take your break.

Now tell me frankly: is the second situation the one you would like to be? We have the freedom to choose and schedule our time and activity. People that find themselves in first situation are more stressed, tired and even feel depressed because their step by step activity is being close analyzed and planed. A company should make employees feel awesome, not micromanage them until they get sick and tired of their work.

Another reason why companies should approach with the second situation it’s because they must change employees’ point of view. Many people consider work as being unpleasant – that’s why we get paid to do it. But this is not true and only if we are part of a work community that promotes and encourage employees we can bypass that fake feeling related to work. It’s not a secret that there were many studies showing that happy employees are more productive, motivated, inventive and engaged. That’s why “happy companies make more money”.
