How to Create a Joyful Environment

According to a research by A.T. Kearney, in any team environment, joy arises from a combination of harmony, impact, and acknowledgment — all of which business leaders can engender in their organizations.

 

The survey findings further suggest that joy stems from believing one’s work is truly meaningful. Employees who believe their “company makes a positive societal contribution” and who feel “personally committed to achieving the company’s vision and strategy” experienced the most joy at work.

 

So to create a JOYFUL environment, Leaders must clarify the meaning of work, show employees where they are going, align them to advance the vision, make sure everyone is aware of his impact and role and finally recognize them for their contribution to success.

Hire for ATTITUDE, train for EXPERTISE

There are 3 key criteria for recruitment:

1) NETWORK FIT: how much the applicant is capable of working with teammates? Is the applicant willing to co-create?

2) CULTURE FIT: does the applicant believe in our company's values, mission, vision and principles?

3) SKILL FIT: is applicant qualified based in terms of knowledge, education, skills and experience?

Due to the research, the MOST SUCCESSFUL EMPLOYEES are the ones who are first network fit then culture fit.

 

Having a unique, inspiring and transparent culture leads to attracting the talents who believe in what you believe and do their best to fulfil company purpose.

One of the best examples of such companies is Southwest Airline.
