How to make us work happily
At work, there are joys and sorrows, sadness and happiness everywhere and all the time!
I. How to make work happy
No more pressurizing ourselves, no more pain and complaining - although our careers are not always happy. Experts give a few tips to help us look at work rationally. These are 5 ways to help us get on the road to happy work. Even though many people love their careers, their faces still turn cloudy whenever they mention their current job.
The company, coworkers, and the work that must be done every day can create all sorts of conflicts and even put people in painful relationships, and this negativity, if it's long-term, is corrosive to our mood.
Nowadays, the stress-relieving methods in management books and yoga practice can't meet people's needs more. How to get out of this state? Can we find peace in the office? How can we put a heartfelt smile on our lips while working? Here are the solutions suggested by experts:
1. Stop making work all about work
The French sociologist said, "The idea that 'work is everything' must be stopped." She emphasizes the importance of building a peaceful relationship at work, but admits that in reality it's not easy to do so because we're all convinced that "work or no work," says 27-year-old Haina, a brand manager for beauty products, who says, "I'd like to think that, as many psychological self-help books suggest, you can't equate life with 'making money. I wish, as many psychological self-help books suggest, that I couldn't equate life with 'making money'. But at work, I'm still like a never-ending rabbit. And, what's worse, I'm actually able to feel vaguely happy about it!"
French psychologists say: this ambivalence is not surprising; originally work was a product of pain and fulfillment closely intertwined. But in reality, the more diverse your self-image, the easier it is to feel happy. In this regard, a psychologist at Yale University suggests: "When we suffer setbacks and blows at work, we need to be restored in other areas. If fulfillment comes only from work, then a bad day at work is more likely to affect mood. Maintaining a proper distance from work and building a peaceful relationship is exactly the way to feel better and happier at work."
2, show their good mood
Often times, work is difficult to be happy at the root of the deadening work atmosphere. French psychologists have investigated many companies and found that many companies have a simple environment, comfortable air conditioning, soft carpet, but the atmosphere is suffocating. A good working atmosphere needs everyone's efforts, such as conversation, good mood, sense of humor, and daily exchange of small snacks brought can be the beginning of happiness. According to a counselor at BUAA, "Close and stable interpersonal relationships are the most important factor in being happy or not. We should enrich the barren relationships in the office. Since we can find happiness when we are with our friends and family, why should we give up that happiness, when we are at work?"
Of course, this doesn't mean we should become office cuddle bears or overly invest in our coworkers. Some experts suggest that laughter can work psychological wonders and that coworkers should have more fun together. Laughing is always the best way to turn an enemy into a friend, and sitting around waiting for someone to show initiative is a very negative approach.
3. Express your needs
Choose a familiar and simple song, such as "Happy Birthday to You." Play the beat on the table and ask your friend to guess. Most people would assume that the chances of guessing correctly are at least 50 percent, when in fact, it's only 2.5 percent. It is often assumed that the listener is presented with the full message of the song in their head, when in fact all the other person hears is a meaningless tapping sound.
One of the most annoying situations at work is when our bosses don't even seem to realize that we need help. Don't assume your boss should know what you're thinking, as the quiz above illustrates.
"If there is a disagreement about what the boss wants, most people will choose to remain silent and avoid conflict." According to Global Career Planner, "People worry that expressing dissatisfaction will damage their relationship with their boss, damage their own interests, or make the conflict impossible to end. But there is a lot of resentment that can't be discharged while putting up with it." The French psychologist emphasizes, "We should be polite, courteous, and forthright in expressing our thoughts whenever necessary. Unless the boss is a psychopathic sadist, honest expression won't make things worse."
Of course, we have to distinguish which of our "unavailable" difficulties are real and which are just our imagination. Often, it is we who are creating the obstacles for ourselves. So before you talk to your boss, make sure you know if the situation is really beyond your ability to handle. This is true whether you're asking for extra help or making your boss understand what you're trying to do.
Perhaps the worst thing that can happen is that stress and self-control become a habit and we all forget that we have needs. "We should learn to pay attention to our inner feelings and listen to the sounds coming from our body and mind." The counselor notes, "When we have a headache, irritability, nausea, loss of appetite, or overeating, it might be time to talk to the boss."
4. Not getting too emotionally invested in the company
"Too often, employees are in an emotional logic," says the psychoanalyst, "that give and take must be equal. We give and then expect to be appreciated for what we give. This thinking is wrong!" According to him, "People always let the experiences of their family life, affect their relationship with the company. For example, they are always looking for the approval that should have come from their parents in their bosses. In psychoanalysis, this is 'empathy'." So let's try another form of "workplace empathy." Psychologists suggest, "We certainly can't lock our emotions away in a locker room at work, so we might as well face work with mature emotions!" How? In a nutshell, maturity is positioned: closely but autonomously.
5. Externalize inner conflict
"Many people in the workplace believe that conflict is risky and stupid." Global Career Planner says, "This is because Eastern cultures preach many rules and regulations that advise people to minimize offense. But in reality, we should most certainly learn to express internal and external consistency." It's not a good idea to just repeatedly weigh in your mind and feel y anxious if the company's interests conflict with your personal interests. According to the experts, "Inner conflict manifests itself in us, usually in the form of ulcers and depression. It is when we decide to fight the bondage on our body that we can find health. If we open our minds, we can put ourselves outside the conflict. This process can be painful, but it's a much healthier approach." Indeed, there's another layer of harm that comes with endless inner conflict. "Running away from a problem loses the opportunity to solve it and drive spiritual growth."
Thus, "All complaining and no action is childish behavior!" Action is an effective way to relieve anxiety. Constructive relief can be achieved in more fun ways. Finding happiness at work is certainly not easy, and not everyone gets what they want. We certainly wish companies offered more psychological support for their employees. Nonetheless, psychologist Patrick Amar continues to caution us that "everyone should be responsible for their emotions at work."
6. Who is happier?
(1) Usually civil servants and freelancers are considered to be the happiest occupational groups. However, only 30% of the freelancers think that they are "freer", while the remaining 33% think that they are under a lot of mental pressure and 20% think that they are under a lot of material pressure.
(2) Men are becoming happier than women in recent years. Thirty years ago, the opposite was true. Studies have found that men have gradually worked less and enjoyed life more over the past three or four decades, while women have replaced some of their housework with professional work. Work seems to be one reason for this change. Another explanation for this phenomenon is that women today have more to do than ever before. They cannot accomplish everything and therefore feel frustrated.
(3) Women who have part-time jobs are happiest because they can combine work and family. Although part-time work is often concentrated in 'low-paying' and 'low-skilled' sectors, women who work part-time are more satisfied with their jobs than women who work full-time.
(4) Mothers with children are much happier when they have a job.
7. Are you happy in your job?
A recent large-scale survey on the index of happiness in the workplace showed that only 37.72% of the people "are generally happy"; 41.64% of the people "are not happy when more"; 20.64% of the people said that "It is very painful and I want to change my job". The factors that are most likely to make us unhappy at work are, in order: no development prospects, low income, too much pressure at work, boring work, the unit does not care enough about its employees and conflicts with colleagues. Geographically, the happiness index of eastern cities represented by Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Guangzhou is much lower than that of central and western cities represented by Chengdu, Chongqing and Xi'an. Fortunately, although many people are still living under the shadow of "non-happy work", 58.72% chose "should be" and 22.64% chose "definitely will be" when asked if they would be happier at work in the future. "
What's more, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
2. How professional women can avoid being emotional at work
1. Charge your emotions first
Do you often feel exhausted and unhappy? Are you always like the sun, trying to pass the warmth to everyone, and only think of yourself at the end? This seemingly great sacrifice is sometimes a "double-edged sword". Not only does it drain your energy, but in the end, it hurts those around you. Please be a little "selfish", only take care of yourself, so that your "battery" full of positive energy, in order to let your happy magnetic field continue to spread out.
2, write a diary
enthusiastic you are not unaware of a whole lot of things that do not belong to you, so you are tired and depressed? It is recommended that you write a summary every night, "Who did you help today?" "Why did you help him?" "What was the content?" "Did you have fun doing those things? What were the benefits to yourself?" . The diary can help you understand your own "energy to go" in a timely manner.
3, learn to say no
Before giving a helping hand, ask yourself two questions, "Am I able to help him?" "Does he really need this help?" Many times people ask for your help, not because they can't do it, but because they are lazy.
4, what is worth your fear
Let the woman afraid of things really countless, afraid of competition, afraid of being rejected, afraid of imperfection, afraid to reveal their true feelings ...... too much of the burden of letting you lose the power of perception of life as well as the power of action, other people's a word, a move may make you Deny yourself and consider yourself the smallest wretch. Don't let them be your masters! As long as you follow your heart, no matter how the results are willing to take responsibility, you will become a brave and unrestrained self-confidence woman.
5, what they say counts
Regardless of how others evaluate and compare, please believe in their own choices. There are no good or bad choices, just the best decision your intelligence and experience can make at this moment.
Prepare for the worst. What if you say "I love you" out loud and he doesn't get it? What if you try to propose something new in a meeting and it's voted down? When faced with an issue that scares you, think about your bottom line. If it's all acceptable, there's no reason to be afraid.
6, to break the problem one by one
Men say that the woman's temper is like "June day", mysterious and fickle. This is because women are more delicate, the way to deal with the problem is more euphemistic and subtle, so many times can not solve the problem completely. So the residual anger, sadness and other emotions accumulated, at this moment was transferred to the problem at hand, and take this opportunity to release. The only thing you need to do is to get the message across that you're not happy with what you've done in the past.
7, quick and easy
If you really can't figure it out, why don't you just unravel the knots from the beginning and ask yourself "Yes or No" every time? As long as you are sure of an answer, tell yourself that you have no regrets. The problem is that you have to put it down, and the sun will shine on you when you are empty!
8, on the matter
You can try to focus your attention only on the issue at hand, to avoid thinking or rehashing the past. If you want to say or do something, you have to do it right away, don't hold it in your heart, and don't give the negative emotions any chance to take advantage of it.
As you can see, it's important to maintain a healthy mindset in the workplace, and it's also good for your own productivity.

What makes Haijilao employees so dedicated and happy to work?
First, the values of the employees of the Haidilao "hands to change their destiny". Most of the employees are from rural areas, compared with other counterparts, Haidilao treatment is better to become the desire of the city life of low-educated people home. "Rely on the wall, the wall will fall; rely on people, people will run; rely on parents, parents will be old; rely on yourself is the best. Use your own hands to change your destiny. We can't choose our origin, but we can choose to keep learning and change our destiny." Became the portrayal of the insistence of the people in the bottom of the sea.
Second, the authorization of Haidilao. Trust in a person is the greatest respect for him, and the sign of trust is authorized. Haidilao from the general manager to the regional manager, from the store manager to the waiter, they all have different rights. For example, to give customers free dishes for justifiable reasons, to give customers free orders for justifiable reasons, and so on. Because of this authorization, the service personnel who deal directly with customers can better grasp the customer's needs and meet the customer's needs in time.
Third, Haidilao employees as customers to serve as its distinctive corporate culture. Haidilao for the staff to provide a heated building, and there are aunts specializing in accommodation management; the establishment of boarding schools, so that the staff's children can study at ease; to contribute to the staff reward family travel; for the staff's parents to send a pension on behalf of the staff to show filial piety and gratitude, etc.
The author of the book, the staff can better grasp the customer's needs, and in a timely manner.
The author believes that the "hustle and bustle must be the first security", drops of warmth in the life of employees, to solve their worries, the staff as customers to serve. Perhaps it is a small thing, but the incentive to play a key role in employee motivation.
Corporate culture must be accompanied by the corresponding institutional processes. In order to ensure that the customer experience, Haidilao developed a set of processes, from the customer waiting for free shoe shine, nail, Internet service, to the customer seated, for customers to send an apron, cell phone cover, etc., to the dining period, the waiter from time to time to hand over a hot towel, add tea, on the wearing of glasses to the customer to send glasses cloth, etc.
These systems are not the same as those of the customer experience, but they are the same as the customer experience.
These systems, processes seem rigid, the use of proper, but all lies in the flexible grasp of the staff. For example, the first person in charge of the system, any employee received the guest's request, he became the first person in charge, must be responsible for the implementation of the guest's request, rather than tell the corresponding ` colleagues on the end. The daily dishes should be kept in the bottom, so that the quality and safety of the food can be tracked and checked.
Haijilao's assessment of each store manager has only two indicators, one is the satisfaction of the guests, and the other is the enthusiasm of the staff, and at the same time, each store is required to be equipped with staff in accordance with the actual needs of 110% of the staff for the expansion of the staff to provide security. Haidilao's system is not posted on the wall, but in the evening class by the store manager and everyone to discuss and explain, so that employees participate.
In Haidilao, when an employee makes a mistake, the responsibility is borne by the foreman, or criticized or fined. Cultivating follow-up reserve cadres is an important assessment indicator for middle and senior management in Haidilao. The company even stipulates that regional leaders must go to the staff's dormitory every month to live for three days, and personally experience whether the staff's clothing, food, housing and transportation are comfortable, in order to improve in a timely manner.
If the system process is the law of an enterprise, then the corporate culture is the morality of an enterprise, which can play the role of cohesion. Excellent enterprises are all because their founders have distilled a corporate culture with universal values, and always follow these core values. Keeping their core values intact in the process of continuous development is the deep reason for the success of the Fortune 500 companies.
Many companies put respect for talent, people-oriented slogan shouted loudly, behind the boss's one voice, only the culture of punishment, there is no reward culture of rigid system, many labor-intensive enterprises is more so. Employee turnover rate is high, so that the boss will not dare to long-term investment in employees and training, employees change jobs frequently, can not focus on a certain area of accumulated growth. This phenomenon is bound to cause a vicious circle, increasing the social cost of enterprises, employees, in the boss, employees are not favorable.
Zhang Yong, founder of Haidilao, believes that people are the cornerstone of Haidilao's business. In Haidilao's internal magazine, there are two lines of impressive words printed: "advocate hands to change the fate of the reason, tree company fair and just wind." Haidilao's three major company goals, "to open the Haidilao to the country" only ranked third, while "create a fair and just working environment", "committed to the values of hands to change their destiny in Haidilao into a reality " are in the top two. Respecting people and believing in them are the core values of Haidilao.
Foreign fast food highly emphasized institutionalization, standardization, process to ensure product and service quality of the role of the undoubted, but also inhibit the creativity of the employees, as well as by the creation of the work of the pleasure and sense of achievement. Haijilao believes that making employees strictly follow the system and process is equivalent to hiring only his hands. The food service industry is typically a high-intensity repetitive work industry, how can we make employees full of joy?
The answer is simple: let employees be creative in their work and emphasize interaction with customers. In Haidilao, the interaction between employees and customers is encouraged so that guests remember you. This interaction begins as soon as the customer walks in the door, and every employee gets to shine the guest's shoes. Here, wiping the table, down the noodles have become very performative and ornamental.
The company encourages its employees to innovate and invent, and whoever's invention is created can also be named after whom. The company gives employees a certain power. Ordinary waiters have the right to free orders, the right to return dishes. Employees live in a formal district, but also free Internet access, there are special dormitory managers to clean up. New employees do something wrong, colleagues will promptly point out, correct.
Haidilao successfully created a home culture, lifting the worries of employees, so that employees can devote themselves to work. Haidilao built a private boarding school in Jianyang, Haidilao employees' children can go to school there for free, only need to pay for books. Haidilao in addition to the engineering department, logistics center and the financial department have foreign cadres, the whole system advocates internal training and promotion, especially the management of the store cadres are from the grassroots up. The expansion of new stores in Haidilao provides career development space for staff development, and also provides a platform for the long-term development of staff in Haidilao.
Corporate culture, system processes for a company's sustained development of the two wheels, indispensable, there is no system processes of corporate culture is too weak, and only system processes, no corporate culture will be too rigid, can not play the creativity of the staff. With a high degree of consistency of corporate culture and institutional processes to ensure that the "confusion" can be understood.
There are many modes of management, and each enterprise will choose a management mode that meets its own development according to its own status quo and characteristics. But no matter what kind of management mode, excellent managers should "meet the needs of others" and "treat people fairly" as a starting point, focusing on the value of each person, emphasizing the example and encourage active participation, know how to genuinely help employees and share with them the joy of work. They know how to sincerely help their employees and share the joy of work with them. Because only in this way can we win the respect of employees, can make the enterprise full of cohesion and combat effectiveness, can truly reflect the essence of the "people-oriented" management philosophy.
