January 18, 2007 - Google employees can come to work in their pajamas. Instead of being reprimanded, they are rewarded with unlimited sick leave, five weeks’ paid time off after a year on the job, lavish in-house restaurants and tuition reimbursements, and a climbing wall.
Semco employees determine their own salaries and job duties. They manage their own training budget after they personally decide what education they need. Employees also fire managers.
What if you don’t work at Happy Time, Inc.?
Known as “The Joy on the Job Coach,” Dr. Doris Helge is author of the new book, Joy on the Job (Shimoda Publishing, Dec 2006).” In interviews with more than 650 employees, managers, and entrepreneurs in 21 diverse organizations, “it became very clear that we control our own destiny,” says Dr. Helge, who spent a decade researching happiness at work. “We can achieve a work life rich with productivity, meaning, personal fulfillment, and fun by discovering how to fuel a pleasurable state of focus and flow. We can even turn ‘difficult people’ into allies.”
Dr. Helge is former director of two national organizations and a faculty member at three universities in Texas, Washington and Kentucky. She provides “Joy on the Job Seminars” and keynotes, and has been interviewed on CNN News, NPR Radio, and The Today Show. Her fun-filled dynamic presentations are frequently requested by diverse organizations, such as Bristol-Myers Squibb, the National Athletic Trainers Association and Vanderbilt University.
