Happy at work at What If! Innovation - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Happy at work at What If! Innovation - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Samantha Wood over at The Insider blog has visited British Innovation Agency ?What If! Innovation to find out what makes them such a great workplace. Here are some elements from Sams post: Let?s start at the beginning ? the reception area. It IS a reception area in so much as there are welcoming people who?ll point you in the direction of the right meeting, but there?s a bit more to this space than that. It?s an eating area, a kitchen, a place for meetings, a place for parties, an internet caf? and a space for congregation and recognition. Recruitment: ?They just want to get involved. Everyone here does. We only hire the kinds of people who are really passionate and pro-active and who believe in our values?. Even laying people off is done in a deliberate, positive way: ?It took a lot of hard work to plan a way of making redundancies that could be as painless as possible for those involved. But it was totally, totally worth it. These people are our friends, and they remain so ? which I hope means we got it right?. Go read Sams entire post itll give you some excellent insight into a very happy and very successful workplace. Thanks for visiting my blog.
