Six Ways to be Happily Engaged at Work

In 2015, a report by Gallup Inc. gave an insight into the mindset of employees and their attitude towards work. The study stated that about 51 percent of workers were not engaged to their duty whereas 17.2 percent displayed active disengagement. This meant that only one third (about 32 percent) of the workforce saw their work as an enthusiastic endeavour and an opportunity to grow.

These figures suggest that a majority of employees remain dissatisfied with their work. One thing is certain; engagement works from both sides of the fence. Besides a conducive workplace environment, an organisation thrives only when its employees have the right notions about their duties.

There are no set rules when it comes to engaging yourself at work. No doubt, getting a job done is your number one priority. But what if you could adopt a mindset that helps you achieve your goals and simultaneously, gives you a sense of satisfaction? Here’s how you bring out the best in yourself and have a great time chasing those deadlines.

Find a motive

Our emotions have a profound influence on our point of view. If you are going through emotional turbulence, its effects hamper your actions. The far-reaching consequences ruin your entire day. There are times when we let emotions dictate our moves, often leading to unfavourable outcomes. However, sensitivity should be an advantage and not an impediment.
