Happiness at work vs. job satisfaction - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Happiness at work vs. job satisfaction - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog People are constantly asking me why I use the peculiar term Happiness At Work rather than the more traditional job satisfaction or employee satisfaction. And by constantly, I mean I get asked this two or three times a year at least! Anyway, heres why: There is no way you can energize or excite the people in an organization around the theme of satisfaction. ?Come on, everybody, let?s make this a workplace where we can all be satisfied with our jobs!??? is not exactly the rallying cry of the century. Make happiness your goal instead. As in ?Let?s make this a workplace where people are happy to work???. It has way more potential and sends a much clearer and more interesting message. In summation: Happiness at work = Exciting. Fun. Ambitious. Energizing. Job satisfaction = Booooooooring! All clear? Thanks for visiting my blog.
