You and your job - happy together?
I’ve had an article published on the HR Zone web site
Some lucky people love their job and look forward to work each day, but for many of us work is just about OK.
Research says that as many as 50% of the working population are unhappy in their career, and my research has found that over 40% of people are going to be looking for a job in the next 12 months. But what can people do in the meantime to make their job more bearable?
These suggestions are not going to turn you from someone who is unhappy at work to someone who is very happy, but a couple of them may work for you or someone you know.
Let’s look at some of the alternatives to moaning about our job and wishing we were somewhere else.
1: Decide to like your job
Whatever we think about is what our brain will focus on so why not decide, for one day at a time, that you will like your job and act ‘as if’ you do. If you did like your job, how would you feel and act? How would you talk with people? How would you tackle different jobs?
