How To Make Your Team Busy And Happy?

All is to discuss happiness in work.

The happier employees, the more efficient they are.

This is not only a theoretical judgment, but also has been proved by recent research.

If employees are unhappy, they may seem busy, but their work efficiency may not be high.

Jessica Preiss Jones said: "there is a big difference between people's concentration on work and happiness."

Jessica is currently the chief executive officer of iOpener, a human resource consulting firm, and has the book "happy work: making full use of psychological capital to succeed" (Happiness at Work: Maximizing Your Psychological Capital for Success).

Preiss Jones believes that people with more professional ethics are more likely to concentrate on their work, but that does not mean they will be happy.

There are many top executives who are highly committed to their work, but they prefer to quit their present job.

Preiss Jones said: "the happier you work, the more energetic you feel and you can do more."

A survey conducted by iOpener showed that 78% of employees who considered themselves happy at work said they felt energetic while working, while only 13% of unhappy employees felt the same way.

Happy employees will invest more in their work.

Xie Jiahua, the founder of Zappos, believes that for employees to feel the joy of work, we should first let them feel that they are part of a great cause that makes them feel connected with their work.

Xie Jiahua said: "in fact, happiness is a sense of control.

At Zappos, our customer service center does not use any scripts; we let all customer service representatives decide how to communicate with customers.

They do not need to get approval at all levels.

If they want to do something special, they can do it. "

To make employees happy, to some extent, it can be achieved through "artificial happiness".

At the 2004 TED conference, Dan Gilbert, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, suggested that people have the ability to create their own happiness.

When we are unable to get some kind of happiness we want, at least we have "artificial happiness".

If we have the ability to create happiness for ourselves, what can management help?

Let the "happy formula" play a role in the work.

How to create a happy atmosphere within the organization?

It is possible to start with the training of grassroots staff - training team members who usually support strategic planning, rather than those who are responsible for designing and implementing these plans.

In the project which is crucial to the company, the grass-roots staff are appointed to take charge of the more important part.

To make this way work, you need to put aside some preconceived ideas, such as the duties and responsibilities of employees in the company: their qualifications, educational background, and even recent work experience.

Your company's IT analyst at the grassroots level may be the most creative copywriter, but if assigned to her job is to face the code all day, then she may never have the chance to play its biggest role in the project.

Teams must be all inclusive. They should recruit all kinds of grass roots employees, and don't be afraid of stubborn newcomers.

1. take responsibility for the team.

Do not treat new people as interns.

Trust them and let them know.

Let the team define the goal of developing the solution itself, set the deadline and benchmark.

In this process, it is very important to provide guidance and responsibility for them, but the purpose of this is to cultivate the sense of autonomy of team members.

"People want more control," Preiss Jones said.

[too much intervention] can only backfire.

2. give your team a name.

Just give your team a name, so that team members can feel responsibility and sense of belonging at a critical juncture.

Xie Jiahua said managers always believe that awe or motivation can motivate employees, but in fact, the sense of mission of companies and employees is more important.

3. train your team.

Preiss Jones believes: "the pride, trust and recognition that a company brings to employees is a key factor for employees to feel happy."

Provide the necessary resources for the team to complete the work, and even recognize that the team is part of the project before the start of the important project.

Preiss Jones said that some enterprises have begun to analyze their internal social networks to determine which leaders are most likely to make employees happy.

"We are not talking about emotional ups and downs, or a person who has an optimistic attitude, but a mode of thinking."

4. provide an open channel for communication.

Allow the team to present their views to the top of the company, to let them know that they will express their views to the top level and be responsible for the consequences of doing so.

If possible, let them speak to the CEO.

Xie Jiahua said: "we have just launched a new project, that is, every quarter, if employees are enthusiastic about a particular idea, then he can present his ideas at the quarterly meeting on Saturday to get financial support from the company.

It's like promoting sales for internal venture capital. "

If employees feel that they can control their jobs and continue to make progress, they will usually be happier and more efficient, and this feeling can be magnified by teams.

Just like an orchestra, if there are more layers in a team, it can produce more loud, stronger and more beautiful music.

If the team feels that they have been involved in a major task, such as jointly presenting a big idea, or jointly achieving a big goal, they can play the most beautiful movement.
