Have a happy workplace

How much time are you at work?

The average worker in the UK spends 3,750 full days at work, which is 90,000 hours over the course of their lifetime and will also work 188 days of overtime. It makes you think doesn't it? That is a lot of time spent behind that desk or on your feet and the truth is that if you don't enjoy your time at work then that time spent there can feel like double. No one wants to be in a workplace where you feel unhappy or that your time is dragging for little reward at the end of the day. 

You may have read in previous blogs other tips to make the workplace more fun and these included appreciating others, giving compliments, keeping in touch, laughing, brightening up the workplace and moving around more can help. You will have also heard how Monday can be the unhappiest work day of the week right and that you may not even crack a smile until around 11:16am on a Monday? It's the day among other things that you moan more on average, feel less attractive, have a heart attack, feel stressed and your work productivity will be it's lowest!  But here are some more tips you can try to take out the things that make it more stressful and help make your workplace a happier place to be.

Be more social

A good way to bond with your work colleagues is to have an out of work club or activity. Some people like to meet up to have a drink out of work or go for a meal and this is a nice way to socialise and get to know people on a more personal level. Bigger companies may have teams and sports that you can join, which is great particularly if you are sporty person. Chances are if your office has a good vibe there will be a person that organises most of the out of work events. This will give a single point of contact and helps to create a positive energy as people will have something outside of work to look forward to and it's something people can talk about after the event. You could even have an events or social notice board in a communal place so people can be kept up to date on what is being planned or with pictures of past events. As a caveat though, do remember that anything connected to your workplace sticks and that your behaviour in and out of work needs to be appropriate and display a degree of self control and decorum.
