You Can Experience Happiness When You Work Hard.

People often say, "the most conscientious men (women) are the most beautiful". Many people think this is a self affirmation and self motivation discourse of workaholics, and some people think that this is the theoretical basis for leaders to play chicken blood for employees.

The real situation is that conscientious employees feel the most happiness, while most of the actual leaders think that happy employees are more efficient than those who are not happy, but it turns out that many things that make their employees happy can not make their work more effective.

In the past three years, some researchers at Harvard University have been tracking user data of a smartphone application, which allows users to record how happy they feel in real time.

The most surprising conclusion of this study is that when we immerse ourselves in work, we feel the happiest, that is, "enter the state".

On the contrary, when we do nothing, happiness decreases.

More than that, we believe that employees do not work hard because they feel happy, but when they work hard, they feel happy.

Therefore, instead of racking their brains, trying to "please" employees, making employees feel happy and happy, and working more seriously, it is better to make employees more attentive to work.

Many managers in the enterprise, and even the boss, often play the role of "firefighters" - working hours, they basically do not have the time to do their own things, they are constantly being interrupted, constantly dealing with "sudden" events, busy every day, thinking carefully, feel that they have not done anything, and more importantly, they will find that many things do not need to be handled by themselves.

In such an environment, it is difficult for them to concentrate on their work, and their work efficiency is naturally not high enough, so they often feel tired and very tired.

Based on our experience, we think there are four ways to make employees work more attentively and seriously.

First, do not assign too much work to employees at the same time.

When the workload of employees at a certain time is too heavy, they know that they can not complete all the work, and they will immediately think about and calculate how much they must do (to cope with the present) rather than start working at once.

We have approached a boss of a private enterprise. This person is diligent in thinking and learning, and gives everyone the impression that "many ideas are changeable." there will be new ideas in three different ways, then assign tasks to employees, and sometimes even assign several tasks to employees.

But when we look back on the tasks he has arranged over the past year, we find that each of them is basically a snake in the bud.

Moreover, even the tasks performed are often discounted.

Second, of course not.

The total amount of work allocated is too small.

When people do not have enough work to do (overstaffing), their minds begin to feel bored and have plenty of time on their hands. They will definitely find something else to do.

For example, gossip or play games or even gang up in offices.

This point,

The work assignment of personnel should be paid attention especially because the assessment of functional personnel is difficult to quantify. If there is too little work, in order to avoid the suspicion of "eating the white food", they often "do nothing" or "toss about".

Thirdly, formulate a policy of balancing work and life.

Flexible working hours, long distance working policy and generous

Employees are allowed to deal with distractions in their personal lives for a certain period of time, so that they can really work at work.

We have worked for an electronic product assembly company for a while, and have hired a group of part-time workers (mainly housewives) for some time. But in the specific work, we found that the defective products produced by the part-time workers were far higher than the normal range. After further investigation, we found that the defective products mainly appeared between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.

After knowing the situation, the company adjusted the original system - allowing the part-time staff to make a phone call with their families at that time, resulting in a great increase in the pass rate of the products.

Finally, clear things that distract people.

For example, when conditions permit, providing a private or large office, rather than a layout with interlocking or small soundproof that allows employees to interact with each other, the inter grid colleagues are the easiest to disturb each other. For example, a joke, a funny thing, is bound to be "shared" with a small partner around it, and it takes about 15 minutes or even more for a person to go back to the original job, for example, to reduce the noise level; and even a company will set a time period to disable the Internet.

To a certain extent, these contribute to improving the concentration of employees' work.
