Three key points for happiness at work

Studies show that when workers are satisfied with flexibility, they are 2.6 times more likely to be happy.

We know the importance of having happy employees within our company, that is why organizations have been concerned about training the Human Resources area to achieve it.

A study conducted by the TecMilenio University found that when employees are satisfied, they are aligned with the organization's objectives, resulting in greater loyalty, productivity, higher performance and lower turnover.

And according to LinkedIn's "Global Talent Trends 2022" study, when employees are satisfied with a company's time flexibility, they are 2.6 times more likely to report feeling happy and 2.1 times more likely to recommend working at the company.

Universidad TecMilenio shares through its Educational Master in Human Capital Management program, three initiatives to promote happiness at work.

Provide attractive benefits.

An example could be to have a shorter work week, a half-day workday on Fridays, or simply to respect work schedules by eliminating overtime.

Bonuses and incentives for productivity, health insurance or paid training are also clear examples of attractive benefits for workers.

Focus on organizational development.

An excellent way to bring employees closer to the company is by understanding their needs, listening to them, valuing and applying their opinions. Creating a communication channel is not only highly valued by employees, but also allows them to be welcomed and made to feel in a safe space that contributes to their well-being.

Provide recognition and incentives.

Recognition will always be strongly linked to job satisfaction. When a worker sees rewards for his efforts and objectives achieved, he will be happier and will be more motivated to continue meeting his goals.

Keeping a collaborator happy is fundamental to have better results and meet the goals, if a company makes a worker happy, the worker will make the maximum effort.

Main doubts about the "hybrid" scheme of work

The current global situation has forced companies to implement work schemes that were not common or frequently used before. The demands of these times lead us to think of alternatives that can work for us as a company and as a collaborator. The adaptation to these new processes may take a long time of adjustment and it will be a trial and error test to which modifications will have to be made for a better performance.
