Who is Boosting Happiness at Work for?

This exercise is designed to help people identify and focus on the opportunities at work to experience positive emotions. It will be useful for wellbeing consultants and other workshop leaders, as well as team leaders and managers. It can be particularly useful in difficult and challenging workplaces where opportunities to notice, experience and savour moments of happiness or good feeling can be overlooked.

 How does it help with Boosting Happiness at Work?

The exercise enhances peoples’ capacity for experiencing positive emotions at work by asking them to focus their attention on identifying when they feel positive at work. It then encourages them to explore more deeply what makes that possible, what such feelings mean to them, and how they can expand their experiences of feeling good.

In addition, talking about positive emotions and remembering positive emotional states tends to produce positive emotions in the moment. In this way, the exercise works on two levels at the same time: the present and the future.
