<p>We&rsquo;ve recently got a beautiful new office with an amazing view, cool deck and potted plants every 2 meters. There are days when its beaming with people and the floor is packed with the usual hustle and bustle of a corporate. One can hear cheer, laughter, serious conversations, and the works. And then there are days when the attendance is low and so is the energy. The same office doesn&rsquo;t feel the same on those days.</p>
<p>It is no Chinese arithmetic that employees are the soul of a workplace, and the soul has only one goal and that is to be happy and to be at peace. Sure, we can all get a surprise raise and bask in its sweet mellowness for a few days, but sooner or later it&rsquo;ll wear off. A constant inflow of gaiety, rejoice and fulfilment is what we need.</p>
<p>A happy workplace is a productive, flexible, and resilient workspace that offers a nurturing environment for employees to thrive and grow. Whether you have chosen a career that inspires deep passion in you or simply chosen a job that allows you to create a lifestyle that you value outside the office &ndash; it has to keep you happy while you are at it. And while it can come from external perks and fancy benefits, it&rsquo;s also possible for employees to create their own sense of happiness at work.</p>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>Invest in your personal and professional development.&nbsp;Seek guidance and never shy away from asking for specific and meaningful help. Develop an information network and use it.&nbsp;That way you'll be better able to do your job and will feel a greater sense of control over the trajectory of your career.</li>
<li>Create a system for tracking your work commitments and managing your schedule. Failing to keep commitments causes stress and makes you unhappy.&nbsp;Stay organized so that you can judge accurately whether you&rsquo;ll actually be able to commit to a request or a new assignment.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Avoid negative conversations, gossip, and unhealthy work relationships as much as possible.</li>
<li>Manage conflict. Avoiding it only postpones it till it resurfaces later. When addressed openly, with positive communication, clear goals, and respect for your coworkers and supervisors, conflict can be a positive thing at work.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Appreciate others and celebrate their success. Give credit where it is due and foster a collaborative work environment.</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Not every day will be a great day at work, but if the days average out to a greater joy quotient, then you know you are at the right place.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Take responsibility for your happiness, but as paradoxical as it may sound, you can&rsquo;t do it alone. But together, we can achieve it. After all, happiness is not just a mood. It&rsquo;s a work ethic.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Keep Smiling and have a Happy day at Work!</p>
