25 little things that make you happy at work

You know those little things that make your day shine and are not really connected to you in any way? Either your colleague’s attitude, the way your work space is organised or random surprises that your colleagues treat you with can make every day at work more and more enjoyable.

Little things that make people feel happy at work 

1.Sociable colleagues

Isn’t everything better when you have nice sociable colleagues to work with?

2. Doing tasks that have meaning for me

Let’s say you choose a job just for paying your rent and you’re waiting for a dream job opportunity. But, whatever you’re doing you want to be appreciated for your work. And how can we judge a fish by its climbing skills? We can’t.

3. Constructive feedback

The most important part of your work is feedback. No matter if it’s positive or negative (and then you will know what you have to change) feedback represents a very important instrument for measuring the quality of your work. And a complete feedback that has only the best intentions can transform your day in a very productive and cheerful one.

4. Smiling co-workers

A smile never cost anybody anything and a day seems to go better when you are surrounded by colleagues that smile and are willingly to help you anytime or just to hug you when you are not feeling ok.

Credit Card Rep Sent This Customer The Sweetest Surprise Post-Breakup

WE LOVE amazing service like this!!

“It was just her being like, ‘It’s cool, girl. You’re gonna be OK.’”

Fairy godmothers do exist in real life: Just ask 36-year-old Pittsburgh resident Christina Grady.

When her fiancé called off their engagement six weeks ago, Grady made plans to move into a new apartment. But in the process of buying furniture for the new address, her Capital One credit card was shut down due to suspicious activity.

Enter Grady’s fairy godmother: In a Facebook post that’s since gone viral, Grady recounts how she called Capital One to clear up the matter and was connected to a customer service rep known only as “Tonya KYY905.”

Here's Why Inspiring Challenges Boost Our Happiness at Work

Statistician Nic Marks has studied work relationships, happiness, and success for years. The findings reveal a lot about how we interact with people, the responsibility we're given at work, and how the happiness component can be changed. In fact, humans crave challenges. From personal satisfaction to work responsibilities, the relationships among being challenged, being happy, and being satisfied are correlated in ways you may never have realized.
