    Episode #95: Plan for Your Team's Year Like a Happiness Expert

    In this podcast, Tia shares a perspective on planning for the next year. She emphasizes the importance of considering people’s well-being and making work contribute to their happiness. The three key ingredients for planning are: people, purpose, and profit. Tia suggests focusing on creating happiness in the workplace, defining and celebrating the organization’s purpose, and involving everyone in the planning process to drive innovation and success. Core points Happy employees are more successful, so it is crucial to prioritize their well-being. Planning for people involves coaching, autonomy, a kind and caring culture, growth opportunities, bonding, DE&I initiatives, physical and mental health support, work-life balance, celebration, and community involvement. Purposeful work is a significant motivator, so organizations should consider how they contribute to making society better. Planning for purpose includes embracing and communicating the organization’s purpose, celebrating it, and incorporating it into day-to-day operations. Profit is achieved by involving all division heads, treating everyone as equals, and getting input and suggestions from all team members. Planning for profit involves taking the entire team out of the office to stimulate creativity and innovation, utilizing everyone’s strengths, and aiming for ambitious goals. Quotes “When people are happy while they’re working, at all levels, they’re going to be more successful and there’s so much research that supports it.” “Progress in meaningful and purposeful work is the number one motivator.” “Everyone has an equal seat at the table when planning for next year, everyone has a say.” “Plan on celebrating your purpose. Plan for communicating it. All the time, all the time.”
