“In the future, companies will succeed or fail based on how much their people enjoy their work,” says management consultant Rosie Sargeant. She offers three tips to make work more joyful, increase employee retention and boost customer satisfaction, suggesting how fun (like kangaroo-themed employee check-ins) can be both professional and profitable.

Trader Joe’s treat their employees very well. Every employee I’ve spoken to says it’s a great place to work.

Someone please get this message to larger companies. They are going full opposite of this. Company don’t care. Pull your Flex Time. No one wants to come to work. But they use too

Ok, well quit being besties with Amazon and let your employees unionize…

Joy at work sounds ideal—but can it really survive in high-pressure, bottom-line-driven industries? 🤔 Still, I love the idea. Flexibility and fun aren’t ‘soft’ perks—they’re smart strategy.

1. Good pay, benefits, flexibility, and opportunity for growth. Most people aren’t looking to get filthy rich, they’re just looking to get less stressed, and they want to feel like their work is going somewhere.
2. Good leadership: high visibility, authentic, transparent, and a touch charismatic. Has to be modeled from the very top. People want to feel like they’re part of something that’s making a positive difference in the world.
That’s really it. You can try to add “fun” to the workplace but if you don’t get these 2 things down first it comes off as tone deaf.
