According to a 2017 Gallup poll "85% of People Worldwide Hate Their Jobs" see https://returntonow.net/2017/09/22/85-people-hate-jobs-gallup-poll-says/. "The number of global employees described by Gallup as “emotionally disconnected from their workplaces” is only slightly better this year (85%) than four years ago (87%)."
Really unbelievable numbers, but if this is the case you should be blessed to talk to a happy worker everytime it happens 😀. I had the opportunity this week and got 14 arguments, why the potential candidate was not interested at all in my proposal for a new job. I am very thankful for the information he was sharing with me 👍:
- A 30 hour work week
- Much freedom and confidence to implement your own ideas
- A great team
- Good connection to the public transport system
- Fair workload
- An interesting area of work and responsibility
- Great office equipment / atmosphere (e.g. plants, bring your own stuff, music, etc.)
- Colleagues with whom I can talk well about my private projects
- Challenges and interesting technology
- Flexitime and trust hours without exploitation
- Work culture, which puts the employees and their satisfaction in the center of attention
- People responsibility
- Nice environment in general
- Enough money
Happiness is a critical factor for work, and work is a critical factor for happiness. In one of those life-isn't-fair results, it turns out that the happy outperform the less happy. Happy people work more hours each week - and they work more in their free time, too. Gretchen Rubin, https://gretchenrubin.com/
