Happiness at Work!

Before we get into all of the fantastic and creative ideas that we are all eager to explore, you MUST watch this TED talk by Shawn Achor on the connection between happiness and work. It will profoundly affect the way you think about your job (as well as your supervisors or subordinates). Let me know what you think!

Workplace Design is Important

Workplace design is important. Why, you ask? Because it directly impacts the job satisfaction, productivity, and well-being of all employees. Some see workplace design as the visual and functional design of the physical workplace. This is indeed one very important aspect of workplace design. However, I will also explore job design and interpersonal interaction, as it is not only where we do our work, but with whom and for whom, what is expected of us and what we expect of others, and our own beliefs about our ability to thrive in our work environment.

In upcoming posts, my explorations will run the gamut from fun ways to personalize a cubicle to employing the Scrum method of project management. My focus is on improving the workplace experience at all levels. So enjoy yourself, and please send me your own ideas about workplace design or ideas you would like me to explore further here.
