Thriving in the Workplace—Creating Joy at Work
When Atrium HR Consulting wanted to create a winning workplace, it had four key goals in mind. Firstly, to create joy at work; Secondly, to take talents from simply being ‘OK’ to ‘thriving’; thirdly, to encourage greater interaction and collaboration between colleagues; and fourthly, to support an overall sense of well-being and fulfilment.
Pauline Mei Ling Williams, Director at the Company, has pioneered a suite of initiatives to help achieve these goals, which started with spreading quite a lot of joy. First, she created a Joyful workspace that communicates and reflects the organisation’s vision and values. Then she created a joyful atmosphere in a workspace, which is crucial as it influences the behaviours of employees and ultimately the customer experience.
Pauline has also worked to ensure joyful attitudes of employees in the workplace, as these can also help reflect and amplify the overall workspace vibe. To help facilitate this, Atrium HR Consulting has created a friendly and open workspace that breeds creativity, collaboration, interaction ... and hence joy. Williams noted that this atmosphere then encourages and motivates employees and positively influences their performance and productivity.
The Atrium workspace is designed and structured to help employees seem more approachable by generating a feeling of community and a more collaborative culture.
Joyful workspaces, especially during this challenging time, help support employee well-being, ensuring they feel happy and fulfilled while promoting dialogue, openness, and transparency.
