A great work experience is important because it influences so many aspects of our lives. If we spend 80 percent of our time at work, simple math suggests that it will have an outsized influence. In addition, work influences our personal lives. Research says that work-life challenges affect men and women, parents and those without children, and people from every generation.

Our experiences at work can impact our sleep, our relationships, our parenting, our children, and our physical health. The good news is, we can choose and create joy at work. Far from something we simply hope to receive, joy is an experience we can embrace, foster, catalyze, and cultivate. 

 Action Items: Consider your current level of happiness at work. Do you feel joyful about your job, or are you experiencing the side effects of stress at work in other areas of your life? Identifying where you’re at will help you know where to start.
