No
debate about the benefits of being happy at all levels, including in the
workplace and the results of any single company as well. Today nobody doubts the
power of having engaged happy high performers, driving real competitive
advantage for the future. Therefore, the war should not just be for Talent but
also for Happy Talent.
And
it’s also true that one of the most important objectives a company should have,
is to keep Talent happy. This is not about needing to motivate. This is about avoiding
demotivation.
But
today I want to pause on a previous step: when you have to start a recruitment
process; how do you detect happy talent?. After a long journey reviewing
innumerable studies, I was able to condense down to16 core traits which the
majority of happy people share the majority of time. And when I talk about
happy people, I talk about structurally
happy people: resiliently happy people who seem immune to prolonged
pessimism or negativity.
Here
you can find the 16 core traits:
- Generosity
- Positive Recall of the past
- Givers and receivers of Constructive Criticism
- Enjoyment of the “little things in life”
- High level of Self-Esteem and Reality Bound self-perception
- Assertiveness
- Investment in experiences over material objects
- Forgiving
- Focused but Flexible
- Sense of humor
- Optimism
- Self-direction, leading their own lives
- Sense of Purpose
- Resilience
- Expressing gratitude easily
And the
16th is that happy people
have a psychological need to share happiness with others. (Unhappy people
have the same psychological need too, so take care!).
And the
most interesting thing here: you can use it effortlessly in every recruitment
process…starting tomorrow…for free.
