I think you would agree that we are all free to think positively and express that positivity. You\u2019d probably also think every business leader with an interest in profit would have done everything possible to remove any obstacle that stops employees being positive in the workplace. No brainer, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee recognition is nothing more than a positive thought that has gone on to be an expression. However, for many organizations giving recognition is still a manager-only activity. Why? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, historically recognition and reward have been treated as the same thing and \u201cemployees don\u2019t give rewards\u201d. (Actually, they do. Micro bonus recognition models are becoming increasingly popular – see Workstars for more on that). Then along comes social recognition: an unadulterated positive expression with little need for hierarchy except to manage reward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it a surprise then that social recognition is becoming the norm? No, not really. Organizations are dependent on creating a predominantly positive workforce. Their office environments, culture, staff turnover and relationships partly depend on this intangible key ingredient that no amount of money can buy. \u202fSocial recognition<\/a> is just a tool that helps organizations nurture and encourage that positivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully, I have convinced you\u2026 however, I have this sneaky feeling there are HR leaders still struggling with directors and managers who like things just the way they are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So\u202fhere are 20 stand-out, bite-sized nuggets of positivity research to highlight the importance of positivity for our wellbeing and the workplace, and that demonstrates why every employee should be participating in positive expression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Positivity increases the potential for success <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positivity prevents us from getting into a destructive cycle of building up negative self-images. Positive thoughts empower us to shape our thoughts and feelings<\/a> in such a way that it increases our potential for success<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. It can fix any damage done <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only does positivity counterbalance negativity; research suggests it can effectively repair<\/a> some of the damage done by negative emotions arising from difficult situations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Positivity = better health <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This research<\/a> looked at 150 wellbeing studies and concluded positivity improves wellbeing which in turn improves health. What better reason do you need to help positivity thrive in your workplace? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. It might even mean you live longer <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positivity doesn\u2019t just improve health day-to-day. A convent might be considered one of the more unusual workplaces out there \u2013 but this study of nuns<\/a> (yes, honestly) suggests that positivity, particularly earlier on in life, can actually increase lifespan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. It can create compassion <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s evidence that a positive mindset can foster greater compassion and a more open-minded approach towards other people. This study<\/a> revealed far greater levels of cross-cultural empathy from subjects who displayed greater levels of positive thinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Positivity enhances social connectedness <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincere positive emotional behavior, behavior that clearly indicates to others how someone is feeling, has been shown to grow social connectedness<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. It encourages feelings of satisfaction in work <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positivity can create feelings of greater self-efficacy and confidence, and within the workplace that can lead to greater levels of work satisfaction<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Positivity leads to resilience <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positive emotions have been shown to be associated with greater levels of resilience<\/a> \u2013 and one can feed the other too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. It offers ways to cope more effectively with life\u2019s challenges <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of our understanding of resilience has come from studying the role of positivity in coping in the face of difficulties. Studies show positivity is linked to a more regular use of an array of coping strategies<\/a> such as planning and positive reframing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Positivity can increase levels of trust <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies have found a connection between how positive individuals are feeling and how likely they are to develop trust<\/a> in others. This doesn\u2019t mean positive moods can render people more gullible though \u2013 when there were cues built in to signal untrustworthiness, they were picked up on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. It grows greater self-esteem <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A positive approach to life can increase levels of self-esteem<\/a> \u2013 which in itself can then lead to a whole host of benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Stress management reactions become more effective <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evidence indicates positive emotions can moderate a person\u2019s reactivity to stress<\/a>. On top of that, they can also assist with recovery from stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. It can make you more creative <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you feel positive, you are more likely to be creative with your problem-solving<\/a>. That\u2019s good news for any workplace that prizes innovation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Positivity can encourage altruistic behavior <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giving and positivity<\/a> seem to have a reciprocal relationship. By giving you can enhance your feelings of wellbeing and happiness. And when you feel happier, you\u2019re more likely to give<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. It enables people to become effective decision-makers <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that feeling good can encourage people to make decisions more quickly and efficiently<\/a> \u2013 and it didn\u2019t impair the quality of those decisions either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. It encourages intrinsic motivation <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeling good fosters intrinsic motivation<\/a>, the desire to achieve because something is satisfying in itself rather than for any direct reward. Even better, the study suggests it doesn\u2019t mean the less enjoyable but equally as important work gets neglected either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. Nurture organizational citizenship in work <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positive emotions have been shown to increase organisational citizenship<\/a> and the likelihood of being supportive of change in the workplace. They can also reduce levels of cynicism too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

18. Positivity leads to self-improvement <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want to encourage a mindset of self-improvement at work? Then encourage positivity because research reveals it plays a role in motivating people to engage in behaviors that lead to self-improvement<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

19. Enhance the customer experience <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re interested in making the customer experience<\/a> a good one, do everything you can to help your employees be genuinely positive while interacting with them. It\u2019s been shown to increase loyalty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

20. Value micro-moments of positivity <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How come some people can flourish even in quite tough circumstances, yet others struggle? Part of the explanation could be down to the way some people can \u2018self- generate\u2019 positive emotions<\/a> simply from taking pleasure in simple, everyday activities and gestures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can you do in your business to encourage those micro-moments? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
