Description

Revamp your workplace culture with these 100 accessible strategies for creating a supportive, flexible, productive, and happy work environment, perfect for managers, human resource representatives, and other workplace leaders.

It’s time to update your workplace culture! One of the most important reasons people today choose to stay—or leave—a job is the culture of the company. As people become more socially conscious; focus more on wellness, self-care, and work-life balance; and seek jobs where they feel a real connection, it’s more important than ever to think about the elements of a job between the work itself. But how do you create a culture that people enjoy while staying productive and successful?

In Happy at Work, you’ll first learn a bit more about why a happy workplace is so important and how it can benefit both the individual employees and the company as a whole. Then, it’s time to take action. Considering new trends in the workplace and the ever-changing workplace, this book provides 100 strategies for improving your work environment.

You’ll learn to tackle big topics that are important to people today, such as:
-Providing fair compensation and benefits
-Giving your employees real recognition and rewards
-Respecting diverse needs
-Cultivating a healthy work-life balance
-And much more!

This book not only provides great ideas for changing your workplace for the better, but also provides clear guidance on how to make those changes happen. Whether you’re a new manager, a long-time HR representative, or another leader ready to make a change, Happy at Work gives you everything you need to know to revitalize your workplace and make you (and your employees) happy to come to work every single day.

“My favorite is Chapter 7, which is all about how to achieve work-life balance. My daily battle! I got great tactical advice, with examples laid out nicely for me. Garrett’s tone made me feel ready and accepted. On the go? Each chapter lays out what to expect, and you won’t be disappointed. She gets right to the point and makes me feel confident about facing my challenges head-on. Don’t walk to get this book—run!”

Digestible, actionable, and honest are how I describe this book. Happy at Work is what leaders who want to improve themselves need when they aren’t sure where to start. A wonderful reminder that there’s always something we should be willing to improve upon—because people depend on us.”

“If you are responsible for managing people in the corporate world, I highly recommend! Garrett brings tangible advice for leaders of an intergenerational workforce and offers sound guidance on how to create a workplace culture that is not only positive but authentic. I was inspired by how she made the concepts so approachable and easy to apply. You’ll want to keep this book in your office for reference—and it won’t get a chance to collect dust.”

—Sequoia Owen, leadership coach, workplace culture consultant

“Adapting to challenges in the workplace requires understanding leadership’s role in integrating changes into the culture. Happy at Work isn’t just a great read—its strategies are necessary to reach success. Garrett addresses how to maintain collective value in the workplace, describes the three tenets of workplace culture, and provides systematic changes to learn and grow.”
