  • Summary

  • Understanding that happiness can be tied to outcomes, and that joy can be connected to the process of growth and potential, in both life and at work, can be key to developing happiness in the workplace.

    In this episode, Maja Djikic, an associate professor at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, and author of The Possible Self, shares her "Wheel of Self" framework and explores the distinction between happiness and joy; and the implications of focussing on joy over happiness.

    Maja also emphasises the impact of organisational culture on problem-solving and employee well-being, highlighting the role of leadership.

    Maja’s tips for a happy workplace:

    1. Allow people to pursue their own interests regardless of skill

    2. Identify and address draining work elements

    3. Recognise individuals needs for fulfilment
