The Joy of Work

Who among us wouldn’t wish to love their job?  It’s no secret that for many people, the workplace can be a source of great stress and dissatisfaction.  From big companies to small teams, we often feel frustrated by the routine that we are stuck in every day.

Maybe it’s because we can’t find room to really concentrate, so we feel like we are throwing away hours of precious time.  Or perhaps we struggle to communicate effectively with our colleagues and we feel isolated.  Possibly, we feel as though we spend our lives in meetings without ever getting anything done.

The so-called “business culture”, which is fashionable nowadays, could be important to establish an outline on which the internal functioning of the company is based, but often our heads are simply filled with slogans and catchphrases that have very little to do with the daily lives of those that work within the company.

This doesn’t mean that we should resign ourselves to passively accept the situations that come about in the workplace.  Each one of us, in our own little way, has the power to affect small changes that can cheer us and our colleagues up, and possibly help us to rediscover the joy in our work.

The tips that we are going to look at will be divided into three basic principles: recharge, synchrony and enthusiasm.
