“For a growing number of workers, corporate culture is the key determinant in their choice to stay with an organization long term.” Max Messmer, chairman and CEO Robert Half International
Positive thinking is a key element not only of individual health, but in building a work environment that is conducive to productivity and success. As the quote above mentions, workers place heavy emphasis on corporate culture. So as you find ways to ensure a comprehensive benefits package (hopefully with our help!), and add employee perks, it may make sense to take a look at your office culture, too. It’s just a theory, but here are some ways that positive thinking at work can lead to happier, healthier, more productive employees.
- Being positive will help you face new projects and challenges with a better attitude. Positive thinking promotes a proactive orientation because being positive is a proactive choice.
- You will tackle the things you don’t love to do and choose not to procrastinate. Stop waiting for tomorrow when you can do it today!
- An optimistic person is generally a better leader and team player, and can transfer that positive energy to others.
- Your thoughts are reflected in your well-being. Positivity can lead to a greater resistance against the common cold, meaning your employees may be taking less sick days. A negative work environment creates stress, which is the root cause of all kinds of ailments
- Trust among employees is one of the best ways to nurture a positive atmosphere. In turn, both of these will help your employees work as a team towards a common goal.
