Music defines many things in both business and society, and almost every year there is a song that hits the airwaves that quickly becomes a national phenomenon as it spreads across the country. This year, it is the song HAPPY by Pharrell Williams. It is heard everywhere from the View on ABC to local car commercials. Simple and catchy, it puts a smile on the faces of everyone who hears it.
It is not so easy at times for employees in organizations and companies here in the Triangle and beyond to smile every single day. Not everyone heads to work every morning with a smile. Many people are contemplating changing companies and even careers; for them happiness is not a big part of their work life.
Just as music can help define the happiness of a nation, culture assists and defines the happiness in an organization; well-being is critical in business and leaders must focus on every employee with kindness, humanness, and equality.
Healthy and successful employees are typically more productive and more satisfied with their work culture and climate. Happiness and success simply go together. Management and leadership that build opportunities through relationships and employee engagement, help ensure that the daily priorities are met each and every day.
Companies must focus on the following seven rights within a happy organization:
- Place people in the right careers
- Train each individual in the right way
- Communicate in the right manner
- Surround employees with the right people
- Build the right teams
- Focus on the right purpose
- Assign employees the right positions and job responsibilities
Happy and engaged employees are productive and enjoy the workloads they share with each other. In many healthy cultures, happy people grow other happy people. The happiest companies find performance, smiles, and productivity with success.
What makes your organization happy? It is all about the people.
