There’s a popular perception that because employers invest more than ever in worker wellness plans today that their employees are the happiest, most well adjusted workers who’ve ever lived. The belief holds that on any given day you’ll find them merrily sipping on their green tea lattes while discovering ever more clever and fun ways to boost their productivity. Few things, however, could be further from the truth.
Fastcompany.com has a new article that cuts to the heart of the “happy worker” myth and sends that particular balloon plummeting earthward.
Last year, less than a third of workers reported being engaged in their jobs. The majority (51%) said they weren’t engaged, and nearly a quarter (17.5%) said they were “actively disengaged,” according to Gallup’s 2014 State of the Global Workplace report.
Non-engaged, or even worse, “actively disengaged” workers are rarely productive workers, never mind happy, and if this is indeed the state of the modern office workforce what can be done to correct the situation? The article continues:
The authors of Ethonomics: Designing For The Principles Of The Modern Workplace believe the workplace is ripe for reinvention. They say we can get there by using a different approach to design, “to explore new ways to create healthy, inspiring, and sustainable places in which people can feel good about where they are and what they do.
