We\u2019re all seeking a 5-step manual so that we can keep our teams fully engaged. But with a recession (possibly) on the horizon, the ongoing labour shortage, the quiet quitters and other pressures on employers, leaders and \u201chappiness makers\u201d are as exhausted as their troops. At La t\u00eate chercheuse, we\u2019ve come to the conclusion that this quest for happiness at work should be everyone\u2019s responsibility. Happiness can be achieved when effort is put into achieving it. So, what if everyone shared this responsibility?<\/p>\n<p>Employers, evidently, play a key role in keeping their employees happy. They can ensure that salaries and work conditions reflect that of the market and offer mandates that are stimulating and diverse. They can also ensure that the work climate and physical environment is welcoming, and strike a balance between supporting their teams while respecting their need for independence. The trend of \u201cjob crafting\u201d, where we encourage employees to align their desires and motivations with their job so that they can grow and become empowered is a flexible framework that helps personalize the employee experience.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the best intentions and initiatives are worthless if an employee isn\u2019t willing to pull their weight. We need to keep in mind that everyone has the power to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Get involved in projects that interest them<\/li>\n<li>Transform dissatisfaction into a driver for change<\/li>\n<li>Become more self-aware<\/li>\n<li>Adopt a positive attitude<\/li>\n<li>Demonstrate a willingness to learn<\/li>\n<li>Build connections with colleagues<\/li>\n<li>Communicate expectations and preferences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We mustn\u2019t lose sight of the fact, either, that employees seek their boss\u2019s recognition for their work as well as that of their peers. It impacts people\u2019s motivation, and a motivated employee has a greater chance of being a happy employee.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h5>Working together<\/h5>\n<p>If we assume that engagement or the responsibility for being happy at work is shared and that each person can influence various facets of this, then how can we make it work? Employers, for their part, can conduct one-on-one meetings to get the pulse of employees\u2019 satisfaction or even use digital tools to survey team members. As for employees, they must actively participate, but they must do so knowing that they will be listened to.<\/p>\n<p>Trust is a crucial element that managers and employees both share; in additionally allows the latter to maintain some autonomy. This is also akin to the responsibility for happiness, which is a not a one-way street.<\/p>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Workplace happiness is essential, but chasing it also exhausts leaders.
