Are you happy at work?

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. 
Coming back to work after a vacation or holiday can also make you aware more keenly on how much you either love or hate it at your work place.

What is your work story?

The thing is your work environment isn't all down to you, but you can contribute and change it for better or for worse. How will you look back on your work years? Can you do anything right now to change that? I spent years in an office where I was systematically ignored and bullied and it ended up making me very ill. The sudden and unexpected death of my parents within 7 months of each other changed my perspective on life and I decided that something had to change. The bullying had meant I had to reduce my work hours, which meant less income and life was not easy. Alongside that I faced redundancy 4 times over a 5 year period, which again is very stressful and worrying as you may well be able to appreciate. 

Slowly and surely thought I turned things around, started my own business even and in 2017 finally left the hated job. The interesting thing though is that towards the end of my time there things in some areas were better and did improved. Being in a different team, with people that actually thought I was a human being made things a lot more tolerable and it was nice at least to know that there were people in the room that liked and cared for me. I am still in touch with them and we go out for meals to catch up. You don't have to make friends with your work colleagues and you may be comfortable keep work and home life separate, but that does not mean your time at work cannot be reasonable happy or pleasant. 

One thing that was totally liberating was knowing that there was a get out clause. Having the business empowered and boosted my confidence no end and I would go in the office with a totally different mindset and outlook. The tips you will learn here won't make a bad job good, but it may help you to think a bit differently, to be more positive, to make the most of the time you have at work and at the very least build some meaningful relationships with your work colleagues that help to make your time there more bearable. Feelings of loneliness, isolation and of being ostracised are not healthy and at the end of the day your health and welfare really are the most important thing.

Do you enjoy what you do?

One thing about the business is that it is much more enjoyable. There is positive feedback from happy customers and getting recommendations further enforces that people are satisfied. If you can find something you are good at and enjoy doing you will find it much more enjoyable. People that are passionate and happy about their work and business will find it much more satisfying and will also work more productively and will be able to push through the harder times. Even longer working days seem to fly by when you enjoy things more. Poor management and supervisors can play a key role in how you enjoy your time in the workplace. If you are in charge consider this. You need to look at the overall picture. Give your staff some slack every now and them because some down time will actually make them knuckle down and be more productive and a bit of banter and camaraderie helps put people in a more positive frame of mind. Keeping yourself engaged in your work is key and adding some fun to the workplace will lighten the atmosphere and help you to bond with your other staff members in a more positive and supportive way.
