I know the secret to being happy at work. 

Do you want to know? I promise it’s not a gimmick, its based on scientific evidence and has been proved to work. The questions below will give you a clue.

Do you know what makes you happy in your job? I mean what really makes you happy? Any of the following:

• The people I work with
• My boss
• Feeling valued and respected
• Doing something that makes a difference / contributes to world / helps people

WHY do these things make you happy?

What if I were to tell you that it’s because they are based on your ‘work values’. And having your work values met is essential to being happy at work.

If I took them away, how happy would you really be at work – honestly?

Final question: When you apply for a new job or promotion, which of the following do you consider?

• Your qualifications
• Your experience
• Your career path
• The Location
• The type of work
• Salary

Now look again at what makes you happy – did you factor any of them in? After all you considered them important to your happiness at work.

What does this mean? It means if you have your work values met in your job then you are 82% more likely to happy at work. I like those statistics.

What’s even better is that you can find out (and most people don’t by the way), really easily. It will take you about 15 minutes and it’s cheap (Approximately the price of 7 coffees)

You can find out your work values really easily by completing a Career Clarity Values Card sort. It’s even kind of fun to do. Like playing cards. Add them to your cart using the button on the left.

The cards will help you if you.......

• Want a promotion
• Want a change of direction
• Want more or less stimulation in your job
• Don’t feel you ‘fit’ any more in your current role any more
• Feel undervalued

You can be in a job that fits your skill set and competencies perfectly, but if one or more of your fundamental career values is missing you will feel as if something is missing and disconnected.

Most of us think about the type of work we want to do and what strengths and weakness we have in relation to our careers, but very few people think about what are their key motivators. Those things that get you out so bed in the morning.
