When you’re happy and relaxed, you’re much more open to learning new things at work at a quicker rate.
– Happy workers make better decisions
Workers that are not happy conduct themselves in permanent crisis mode. They tend to lose sight of the big picture, and are driven to make short-term, here-and-now choices. On the other side of the spectrum, happy workers make more informed and better decisions and are easily able to prioritize their work.
-Happy workers worry less about making mistakes – resulting in fewer mistakes
When you’re happy at work the occasional mistake isn’t really a show stopper. You also don’t mind apologising for your mistakes, fixing the mistake and then taking full responsibility for them.
