As the world recovers from the pandemic, it is time to reassess how businesses approach the wellness of their employees. What if instead of treating stress reactively, we adopted preventative measures to create a greater sense of happiness at work? What positive impact could increased happiness have on our company’s operating budget?
For so long, happiness has been seen as a fluffy concept in the workplace, with many taking the approach that people at work shouldn't actually be happy. What if the opposite is true? What if we actually looked at bringing more happiness into the workplace and developing a sense of resilience in people so they can actually choose their future, choose their possibilities and choose what's possible for them to create a greater future?
Access Consciousness Bars
One approach that has been very successful for increasing happiness and decreasing stress in the mind and body in the process is called Access Consciousness Bars. Access Bars are 32 points on the head that, when gently touched, effortlessly and easily release anything that stops you from feeling joy and ease in your life.
Some of the results that have been reported following Bars sessions include a greater sense of happiness, spontaneity and creativity, decreased levels of anxiety and depression, improvements in team morale and a greater sense of a connection between colleagues Sosa, 2020.
The more that you empower staff, the more powerful they can become as a creative force in the workplace.
Change the fundamental culture within the workplace
What if we can actually change the fundamental culture within the workplace to the point where we seek to engender happiness, spark creativity and nurture contentment within each of our employees? This could undoubtedly result in workplaces becoming more profitable and more creative, where every dollar that is invested in wellbeing in the workplace actually repays the company a hundred times over in terms of lower staff turnover, greater creativity, more ease with change, and more dynamic service and product development in short, empowered and happy employees are more economically viable.
Joy of Business
In Access Consciousness, we call it a “Joy of Business,” a sense of pure joy that one experiences when doing business in a way that is aligned to your values, where you are consciously creating your future, creating your life, and moving forward with ease. And that is certainly a way of doing business that makes me happy!
What is truly possible with our businesses now that we've never considered?
