#6: Gross National Happiness

Work bit 1: According to the British Household Panel Survey ‘91-2003, the most miserable period for most people is in their 40s. After that levels of happiness climb.

Work bit 2: In Bhutan, a country near Tibet, China and India, government policy is based on Gross National Happiness. How does your country measure your happiness? Does it even care?

Work bit 3: No organization can poison its environment without ultimately poisoning the health of its workers and therefore itself, irrespective of whether the environment is physical, emotional or spiritual.

Work bit 4: Did you hear the one about the woman who was spanked in front of co-workers as part of a team-building exercise? I’m sure you have your own examples of the nonsense of most team building exercises. If you do, please send them to me at james@nonsenseatwork.com
