Ever wondered what makes employees genuinely happy at work? Marcel Schwantes' article on the rare habits of exceptionally happy employees says there are the 4 rare habits that stood out: 1. They Practice Gratitude Happy employees regularly express gratitude. Not just the occasional 'thank you,' but genuine appreciation for their team, opportunities, and even challenges. It’s not just about the pay check; they connect their tasks to a larger purpose. Are your employees clear on how their roles contribute to the bigger picture? 2. They Build Positive Relationships Strong relationships at work are a cornerstone of happiness. Who in your team can you connect today? 3. Practice Forgiveness Want increased productivity, decreased absenteeism get your team to let go of negative feelings after a conflict Has your team build enough trust to forgive? 4. They Maintain Work Life Balance This one’s a no brainer but often overlooked. How balanced is your team's work life ratio? Remember, happy employees are not just a nice to have. They’re integral to a thriving workplace. What steps are you taking today to ensure your team is genuinely happy? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Great points, Martin! Another interesting angle is how happy employees often seek continuous learning opportunities. They’re not just content with the status quo but actively look for ways to grow and challenge themselves. Have you noticed how fostering a culture of learning impacts happiness in your team?

3wGreat post, Martin! Totally agree with these points. I'd also throw 'autonomy' into the mix—letting employees have a say in how they do their work can really boost happiness levels. Ever tried giving your team more freedom to choose their projects or methods?
