Bad news is sweeping across the economic landscape sucking up optimism like a some kind of evil ShamWow. Your workers may be having a hard time staying positive. Findings from a recent sociological study will help you turn up the happiness quotient. Here's a summary:
-
Social networks spread happiness better than unhappiness. They work even better than extra money. (That surprised me.)
-
Friends of the same gender have powerful ability to spread happiness, better even than spouses. (That did not surprise me.)
Your tactic should be to let social groups in your organization "mix it up." You provide regular communication to counter rumors and emphasize good news, and let the social networks at work calm the fears of the workforce.
