Creating joy at work: Ways to improve employees’ well-being

Happy Wednesday and welcome back to the latest edition of Privy Presents, a newsletter specifically curated by Privy team to discuss digital identity and other closely related topics every Wednesday.?? ?

Rapid technological advancements, globalization, and social dynamics changes have shaped today’s younger workers to be more concerned in protecting their work-life balance that often differs from previous generations. This then leads to a “quiet quitting ” phenomenon commonly known among today’s generations.?

In this edition, Privy brings you a topic of creating joy at work to improve employee’s well-being. Reflecting on one of our core values ‘Joy’, we aim to build a mindful and convenient workplace for everyone.?

Why is an employee’s well-being important??

Work-life balance is a distinction between one’s work commitment and one’s personal life including family, hobbies, social activities, and self-care. This is essential for maintaining physical, mental, and emotional health. Overworking and neglecting personal needs can lead to stress, burnout, fatigue, and various health issues. Prioritizing balance helps individuals to?recharge, relax, and maintain their well-being.?

This can also help them regain focus, boost creativity, and problem-solving abilities to their work resulting in higher-quality output. Balancing work and personal life enable individuals to invest themselves in other things outside of work to bolster their personal growth and development. Engaging in activities that bring joy, learning, and personal fulfillment contributes to self-development beyond professional achievements.?

According to The Conversation , positive emotions like joy happen when we accomplish something that brings us closer to a goal and this can?improve employee’s well-being and job performance to keep one motivated and engaged leading to a better work quality.?
