The International Week of Happiness at Work

Happy workplaces bring huge benefits, not just for people but for organizations too.

Being cheerful in the workplace might sound fluffy but the presence of happy and positive employees in an organization, company or work team not only does play an important role in the further growth and success of the individual but it also has a lot to do with productivity in the organization.

The vitality and vivacity of employees will have a significant impact on their efficiency, creativity, innovation and job satisfaction, and of course will increase job stability and employee loyalty.

Today, a healthy work environment is one that pays as much attention to the mental and physical health of employees as it does to work and productivity. The health of the environment and the organization will be guaranteed with the health of people.

During the last week of September, from the 21st to the 27th, organizations and individuals around the world celebrate the International Week of Happiness at Work. This day movement is not run or coordinated by any organization but was made to raise awareness and encourage employers and mangers to develop their own ‘do it yourself’ movement to recognize their employees' happiness.
