Positive psychology is a concept that has been gaining relevance as it drastically improves productivity and positive company culture in the workplace. What is positive psychology? It is shifting the emphasis away from the negatives in the workplace and focusing on achieving goals, encouraging teamwork and maximizing productivity.
Read on for two key reasons to utilize positive psychology in the workplace:
Happy, motivated associates are the most innovative. Regardless of your industry, workplace tactics are evolving as we speak and innovative solutions are important when staying ahead of the competition. Encouraging collaboration and positive team bonding in the form of team building exercises and company retreats has proved to support the creation of new ideas. It is crucial to focus you and your team’s energy on things that trigger energy and enthusiasm in the workplace.
Mentoring can encourage mutual appreciation in team settings. In the last decade, the trend of employee loyalty to one company has decreased as expectations for employers have heightened. One way to encourage loyalty and mutual appreciation is supporting the idea of veteran professionals mentoring those underneath them. Not only does this increase the bond between the two associates, but it creates a sense of appreciation for the company as a whole in the mentee. As the relationship builds, both parties will feel a sense of value in the experience because it encourages positive growth and continuous learning. Instilling value in their work promotes positive thinking and a healthy work environment.
