Corporate Happiness

The choices we make while we’re here

January 19, 2009 · 1 Comment

Today I read something profound written in a blog by my Father. He doesn’t often talk about his deeper thoughts – he’s more likely to reminisce about funny situations or people than get into a discussion about the meaning of life or in this case what’s after life. Besides not always seeing eye to eye, I’ve always respected my Father’s quiet wisdom, humbleness and open heart that he never needed to put on display. So it didn’t surprise me when I asked my mother if he told her about the experience – “no, he didn’t say anything to me about it…”

I don’t really know what to say about it, other than I got shivers when I read it and it changed my outlook for the rest of day. It made me think about life – what might be after it, my past relatives – the choices I make while I’m here.

Soon I will have a son or daughter (I’ll know for sure in 4 days), I’d be happy to know that he or she would think of me in the same way.

Thanks Dad for sharing this.

I had a thought, I’d like to open this blog here for contributors. Would be interesting to have a discussion about things related to corporate happiness- not just about getting comments but a document of a variety of viewpoints on a broad but significant topic, especially in this time of uncertainty.

So what is “Corporate Happiness”? – Please tell me…

I know that a lot of people facing redundancy, the cost of living is not going down anytime soon, the outlook for business is generally not great – with so much to worry about, how is job fulfillment still a concern?

Perhaps happiness or fulfillment is not a term to define so easily.

Here are some topics worth discussing:

- The financial crisis
- globalisation
- Job security
- Job fulfillment
- work happiness
- productivity
- dealing with stress etc.etc.

And what’s in it for you:

- A profile page feed into 3 Minute Angels – a high traffic site
- Intellectual stimulation
- A platform to generate interest and discussion….
