Joy at Work in Action

Written by Roxanne Brown

When we do work we enjoy that contributes toward a shared goal, we feel joy at work.

When we give selflessly to colleagues; when we work hard with others that are seeking the same goal; when we believe the goal is worth going after; when we trust each other, we feel joy at work.

When we overcome a setback; when we forget blame and focus all attention on the solution; when we try something with the confidence we’ll recover if it doesn’t work, we feel joy at work.

When we sometimes pause and celebrate; when we recognize our colleagues; when we see our progress, we feel joy at work.
