When we&#8217;re happy at work, we&#8217;re more productive and engaged. But what exactly makes people happy at work, and what can an employer like Journey do to gain and maintain that happiness?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In this blog, we&#8217;ll explore some scientific studies on what makes people happy at work and what can be done to achieve that happiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At the same time, we make an honest comparison between the scientific findings and what Journey already offers today.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Let\u2019s see how many boxes we tick and if we have the potential to become your employer of choice:\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Meaningful Work<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Feeling like our work has a purpose and meaning is essential for happiness. A study by the University of North Carolina found that employees who experienced their work positively impacted others reported higher levels of job satisfaction and happiness. When we feel like our work matters and is making a difference, we&#8217;re more likely to feel fulfilled and engaged.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To create a sense of purpose and meaning in the workplace, employers can consider aligning their company&#8217;s mission with their employees&#8217; values and interests. Additionally, providing opportunities for employees to volunteer or give back to their communities can be a great way to promote a sense of purpose and meaning. Employers can also consider providing regular feedback and recognition to employees, highlighting their work\u2019s positive impact on the company and the community.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Journey Check:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Well, meaningful work is, of course, a self-launcher. All who work with children directly experience the positive impact of their work. <\/span>\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But we at Journey have done our homework regarding values and mission. What you look for in vain in some places is summarised here in our so-called Standards, a document accompanying you from day one, like a red thread guiding you when you need orientation. Of course, there is much more to this, but more on that later. <\/span>\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Giving something back to the community? A matter of course at Journey. Connecting to the communities is a big concern for us, and numerous cooperations exist. Every employee also has a Paid Volunteer Day per year so that you can support your favourite projects. <\/span>\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And positive feedback? It&#8217;s our number one discipline! We strive to reflect on everything we do together. Performance is rewarded, and successes are celebrated together. That is a great feeling. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Positive Relationships<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One of the most significant factors in happiness at work is positive relationships. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/warwick.ac.uk\/newsandevents\/pressreleases\/new_study_shows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a> by the University of Warwick, happy workers are 12% more productive than their unhappy counterparts, and positive relationships majorly contribute to that happiness. We feel more engaged and invested in our work when we have strong relationships with colleagues and managers. Additionally, positive relationships can create a sense of support and camaraderie, which can be essential during challenging times.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Being respectful, empathetic, and open-minded is essential to cultivating positive work relationships. This can involve actively listening to others, being willing to compromise and collaborate, and celebrating the team\u2019s successes. Additionally, regular team-building activities or social events can be a great way to strengthen relationships and create a sense of unity within the workplace.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Journey Check:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you look at the attention to detail that has gone into the setups of our recreation rooms for educators, you might already suspect that they will also be used: For workshops, shared meals, and small and large celebrations. Team cohesion is an essential building block at Journey. <\/span>\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Did you know: There is no role at Journey with no responsible contact point for support? However, you are never alone; the regular exchange between the centres is also integral. <\/span>\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And the management? The two founders of Journey are to be seen more in the centres than behind their desks. Because what they do is close to their hearts. <\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And the rest of the support office? They are always just an email or phone call away if they are not there anyway. <\/span>\u00a0<br \/><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Shaping possibilities<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Having a sense of autonomy and control over our work is another crucial factor in happiness at work. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birmingham.ac.uk\/news-archive\/2017\/autonomy-in-the-workplace-has-positive-effects-on-well-being-and-job-satisfaction-study-finds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a> by the University of Birmingham found that employees with more shaping possibilities within their work reported higher levels of job satisfaction and better mental health. When we feel like we have some control over our work, we&#8217;re more likely to feel invested in it and motivated to do our best. Additionally, this can create a sense of trust and respect between employees and managers, which can contribute to a positive work environment.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Offering opportunities for employees to take on leadership roles or contribute to decision-making can be a great way to promote this. Open communication between managers and employees can also help employees feel valued and heard, even when faced with challenges.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Journey Check:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What is just as natural for us is that we pay attention and that everyone is heard. Every opinion is valuable; every idea can further us on our common Path to Exceeding. <\/span>\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Anyone who has followed the stories of our colleagues on social media can immediately see that Journey places much value on giving team members opportunities for further development. This is a matter of course for us. <\/span>\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And we even give them the tools to do so, which is a perfect segue to the next aspect of what makes people happy at work. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2>Opportunities for Growth<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Having opportunities for growth and development is another factor in happiness at work. A <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/1973\/07\/why-employees-stay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a> by Harvard Business Review found that employees who felt like they were learning and growing on the job reported higher levels of job satisfaction and happiness. We&#8217;re more likely to feel fulfilled and motivated when we can develop new skills, take on new challenges, and advance our careers. Additionally, having growth opportunities can create a sense of investment in our work. To promote opportunities for growth and development, employers can consider providing regular training and skill-building workshops the study recommends.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Journey Check:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Yes, that&#8217;s exactly how we see it. That&#8217;s why Journey has the Journey Academy, for example. An online portal that constantly offers up-to-date training on almost all topics.
