In the Globoforce Spring 2014 Workforce Mood TrackerTM, we asked American workers if they were happy at work.
They overwhelmingly said “Mostly.”Source: Globoforce Spring 2014 Workforce Mood Tracker
“I consider myself a happy person at work.”
2% 11%
“No.” “Mostly no.”
52% 35%
“Mostly yes.” “Yes.”Meh.
So we asked what did make them happy at work.
They said “Recognition.”
73%Being recognized
increased my happiness at work
This made sense. Because when they were more recently recognized they were a lot happier than average.
“Yes, I consider myself a happy person at work.”
