Having happy Inland Empire employees is about more than paying the highest wages.\"\"
\nIn their article \u201cHow Zappos Creates Happy Customers and Employees\u201d greatplacetowork.com shared insights and practices from Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.
\nHsieh believes that workplace culture needs to take priority first because \u201ca company\u2019s culture and a company\u2019s brand are really just two sides of the same coin. What goes around the office comes around to the customer.\u201d
\nSo how do you create a happy culture, happy employees?
\nHsieh believes that happiness is comprised of 4 key aspects:
\n\u2022 Perceived control<\/em>
\n\u2022 Perceived progress <\/em>
\n\u2022 Connectedness (meaning the number and depth of your relationships)<\/em>
\n\u2022 Being a part of something bigger than yourself<\/em>
\nIf you\u2019re in HR, facilities, acting as office manager or running your own business and having a difficult time cultivating a happy workplace in Inland Empire, may we suggest one simple fix that could help promote all 4 of Hsieh\u2019s key to happiness aspects?
\n\"\"Redesign your break room!<\/strong>
\nA well designed break room can give employees a retreat to refocus when things feel out of control, a feeling of productivity when returning to work, connection to other employees and a chance to celebrate both individual and corporate successes.
\nIn his article \u201c10 Essentials of the Most Successful Companies\u2019 Break Rooms\u201d on Inc.com, Jayson Demers, Founder and CEO of AudienceBloom suggests 10 ideas to make the break room a focal point for office health, happiness, and productivity. Here are some of his ideas:
\n1. Offer Free Coffee \u2013<\/strong> It\u2019s affordable and caffeine increase attention spans, improves focus and boosts mental energy
\n2. Make it Different \u2013<\/strong> The break room needs to feel like a retreat. Make it look different than the rest of the office: paint the walls different colors, decorate with fun posters and stay away from anything serious.
\n3. Games \u2013<\/strong> Give employees a create outlet which in turn promotes creativity back at their desks. Games also encourage employee bonding.
\n4. Provide Healthy Snacks<\/a> \u2013<\/strong> You can help employees curb hunger with a healthy choice. Give employees healthy options decrease the chances of them reaching for something high in sugar that spike insulin and results in energy crashes.
\n5. Celebrate \u2013<\/strong> Employee birthdays and anniversaries, team successes, celebrate it all in the break room. This \"\"should be a happy place only, take disciplinary meetings elsewhere.
\n6. Entertainment \u2013<\/strong> A TV gives employees who might have nothing to talk about a focal point for conversation. Industry books, pop culture magazines and news gives employees an opportunity to educate themselves quickly while also fostering break room conversation.
\n7. Suggestions \u2013<\/strong> Ask employees what they want and when in reason give it to them! According to the Society of Human Resources Management 43% of organizations use surveys to determine employee satisfaction and 81% review benefits once a year. Use free online survey tools (like surveymonkey.com) to give your employees a voice and then respond so that they know you listened.
\nFinally, take a hint from the tech world, where companies like Google and Facebook, give meals to their employees. Can\u2019t afford to do it every day? There\u2019s no need to. Pick one day a week and offer a family breakfast or lunch where everyone dines together. Studies show that eating a meal together can promote connectivity with employees and when employees feel connected to each other they are more likely to work together and settle arguments quickly.
