The Pursuit of a Happier Workplace

About this episode

Amrit explores the role of happiness in the modern workplace and how it can be achieved.

When was the last time you heard someone described their workplace as 'happy'? Some people might even question whether we want happiness in the workplace, as they might see happiness as representing frivolity, poor productivity and poor performance. Others might argue that when people are happy, they might do their best work. Happiness could also be labelled as being 'satisfied', and when people are satisfied, are they likely to have the motivation to do more? Happiness it seems is complex. There is no doubt though, that the pursuit of happiness, is what every human being is after. Join Amrit as he explores what role happiness has in the modern workplace, and how we might achieve it. The Pursuit of a Happier Workplace - this week's podcast.
