How to Kill Happiness at Work – Part 2

WorkHuman

One of our most popular blog posts last year was titled, “How to Kill Happiness at Work.” Either HR people are really cruel or they’re genuinely concerned about the happiness of their employees (we’re guessing it’s the latter).

To make every person feel like they are making a contribution? To make them happier? To make them more supportive of leadership?
