A few days ago, my former colleague Lao Li complained to me: after changing another project, I feel that my work is getting more and more boring, and I am most afraid that Party A will update the assessment standards every day. The mood of going to work is as heavy as going to the grave, and there is no happiness at all. ......

In this rapidly developing society, whether you are a novice or an old man in the workplace, the job content you face every day will change more or less. How to improve their happiness at work is a problem that everyone in the workplace will face.

We can find the secret of improving happiness from the book Lifelong Growth: Seven Core Competitiveness in the Future Workplace.

The author of this book is a famous German career consultant-Bush hohlfeld catherine. She has always been committed to helping people solve challenges in the professional field and help them discover their creativity-thus achieving all-round happiness and independent life.

The author helps professionals to build seven core competitiveness of self-adjustment and promotion from seven aspects: growth mentality, self-reflection and adjustment, and creativity, so as to enhance their sense of accomplishment and happiness in the workplace.

How to improve the core competitiveness, so as to enhance the happiness in the workplace? This book gives us the following three secrets.

?

0 1 Seek sustainable development and expand comfort zone.

The world is changing with each passing day If you want to improve your happiness in the workplace, you must first seek sustainable development in your work and expand your comfort zone. The book says: People's areas are divided into comfort zone, study zone and fear zone.

The comfort zone is where we recuperate, the study zone is where we improve our ability, and the fear zone will let us know where our limits are.

The book says: In the comfort zone, we tend to repeat some fixed processes smoothly. As we get older, what we try occasionally will make us more and more tired.

Therefore, the more you expand your comfort zone, the more you can adapt to change and the higher your happiness will be.

I remember reading a story on the internet: a toll booth elder sister was laid off, because electronic toll collection replaced labor, and there were not so many toll collectors. And this big sister has been repeating the charging work for decades, and she can't do anything but charge. When people reach middle age, their future is uncertain.

Eldest sister works in a toll booth, and her comfort zone in the workplace is limited to repeated charging work day after day. The reason why I suffered from the crisis of middle age and lost my happiness in the workplace is because I didn't consider the changes of external conditions, didn't seek sustainable development, and didn't expand my comfort zone.

So how to expand the comfort zone? That is, enter the field of learning and seek sustainable development.

The author said: "The world and nature are flexible, they are in eternal development and change, so we must also be flexible and flexible to the maximum."

Therefore, if you want to improve your happiness in the workplace, you must seek sustainable development and not be satisfied with the present situation. Even if you take the initiative to apply for a small task, you should dare to try to expand your comfort zone.

02 Strengthen intrinsic motivation and optimize learning strategies

In addition to seeking sustainable development, strengthening internal motivation and optimizing one's own learning strategies are also the keys to improving happiness in the workplace. Because research shows that the higher your willingness and motivation to do something, the higher your happiness.

My friend Xiao Liu is a quality inspector of a group branch. His daily job is to check whether the product is qualified or not, and then complete the product qualification rate report. At first, she just thought that she was required to check according to the quality inspection standards stipulated by the company. For her, the daily work is repetitive and monotonous.

Later, the company leader decided to reform and sent her to the company headquarters for a business trip to learn the new quality inspection standards so as to use them in the new project quality inspection. Originally, she just wanted to finish her study task, but she was greatly admired to see a more competent quality inspection director in the head office. So, she took the initiative to study, followed the example of the director, and finally put forward many constructive suggestions in the quality inspection reform of the branch, and naturally got a promotion and salary increase. Now I go to work humming a ditty every day.

Xiao Liu's case is the process of a person's motivation level change. The author of this book believes that when we have internal motivation, we will take action voluntarily without external influence and get pleasure from it.

Therefore, it is necessary to constantly strengthen the internal motivation. When we enter the best state of internal motivation, we will have the flow of work. At this time, we will concentrate on our work, enjoy the state of work and feel happy.

In addition to strengthening internal motivation, we should also optimize learning strategies, so as to improve our workplace ability and work happiness. According to the author, we should consider the following steps:

[If! 1. [endif] How should I study?

Second, what is my learning goal?

Third, how to achieve the learning goal?

Only when the answers to the questions are clear and feasible implementation plans are formulated can our study be continuously promoted and our happiness be continuously improved.

?

Dare to challenge and innovate and find the meaning of life.

The only constant in this world is change. In addition to expanding the comfort zone and optimizing learning strategies, we also need to challenge innovation, stimulate your creativity and find the meaning of life in innovation.

If you are in a job and the content of your daily work remains unchanged for a long time, you will feel bored. But if you are allowed to innovate and give new meaning to your work, you may change your attitude and meet it with a more positive attitude.

So, how to reform and innovate and stimulate creativity?

In this book, the author said: "Our creativity lies in putting forward opinions and solutions quickly when encountering difficulties, responding flexibly to unexpected situations and finding new methods spontaneously."

We need to have a sense of longing for change, find the meaning of our work and awaken our inner interest in learning new things.

My previous company had two different coaches:

A trainer follows the rules every day, only gives employees the fixed content given by the training company, and follows the script all day. For a long time, employees have no interest in training, and even have some conflicts. A trainer became less and less interested in his job and finally had to resign.

Trainer B is used to innovation, and gives business training to employees in a brand-new way every time, sometimes in the form of games and sometimes in the form of prizes, with the aim of giving employees a brand-new experience. Employees also enjoy it, respond positively and thank her for her training, and are more willing to communicate with her. Trainer B himself is full of energy and creativity in his work, and was promoted and raised by the company at the end of the year.

The trainer's case tells us that when you are eager to change, you can't help but take action to innovate. In the process of innovation, your creativity will be stimulated and improved, and your work will be more meaningful.

Only dare to challenge innovation, stimulate creativity and find the meaning of life, will your happiness in the workplace continue to improve.
