Section A: Challenges for Employees

Some people see work as a stressful situation, while others see that there are many joys in working. A question to you before you read this book: “How do you feel about working?”

Building friendships is very important for all employees. If you are stressed, then you might need a shoulder to lean on. Many employees are looking for someone with whom they can have a healthy working interaction on a regular basis. You can be the person your co-workers would like to have around them. If you build friendships, you might be helping other people, and they, in turn, may be there for you when you need them.

While you are enjoying work, you may recognise that you have an opportunity to find a companion there. Some people have nice personalities and good intentions and are dedicated workers. These qualities are attractive and may result in other people seeing them and wanting to be their lifelong partner.

Even the best individuals need some counselling from time to time. People are challenged on a regular basis by so many issues, and sometimes, the organisation provides an opportunity for counselling. It is good for everyone, and people must accept it whenever it is available so that they can become more productive.

You should be able to enjoy work, as you have an opportunity to build character. You can build your brand with your organisation so that many people will remember the good things that you have done. Even when you have retired, some people may still seek your knowledge and skills because of the brand that you have established.

Make the best use of your working life, and it will reward you greatly.

Section B: Employers’ Assistance

WORKING with some organisations is so rewarding. If you must retire or change locations, you may feel hurt to leave because of the opportunities that you have received while working with that employer. Some employers are deliberate in providing you with many opportunities. Some of the opportunities that they will give you come once in a lifetime. Sometimes, you get to go places and meet people that you have never thought about. Working is good! Enjoy your working life and help others to enjoy theirs as well.

When you are working, you may have some opportunities to travel both locally and overseas to conduct activities on the organisation’s behalf. Whatever the travelling opportunities are, you must enjoy them, since the organisation felt that you were a candidate they could entrust with certain responsibilities. Be an ambassador for the organisation wherever you go and when you conduct activities on its behalf.

As you work, you may be entitled to paid vacation. This is an option that is only available to those who are working. If you are at home, then you may have to find your own money when taking a vacation. Employees who work for formal organisations will receive medical benefits. Some of the benefits may be extended to their loved ones and extended family members.

After working hard for many years, you may be entitled to a pension. This benefit is available to people after they finish working, that is, when they attain retirement age. Enjoy your pension, which you so deserve after contributing so much to the organisation. While you are still working, you will be able to obtain a basic salary. This forms part of your compensation package. You can negotiate your basic salary at the interview. You may also be entitled to sales commissions and other incentives depending on the business to which you are attached.

Did you know that working provides a good and consistent opportunity for you to exercise? The constant movements that you must be engaged in may keep you away from the doctor for some time since your job will keep you physically fit. Working allows you to be engaged in social events and other entertainment. If you are an employee who is multi-skilled, then you might be able to demonstrate those skills at your workplace.

As you work, you may have the opportunity to receive training, which is great, as you will become equipped to deliver that which you are paid to do. During your working life, you may also provide training to others. Your skills and knowledge may cause others to want to learn from you. If you receive training, you should also train others. These opportunities are easily available as you enjoy your work.

Section C: Employees’ Happiness

Employees like to be happy, but that does not happen overnight. Once you are a hard and dedicated worker, then you should be able to reap the benefits of happiness. It would be sad to know that you spent most of your years working and you were in a sad mood. Working can make some people so happy, but other people do not know what happiness at their place of employment feels like. Working can sometimes drain the energy out of you, but working can also refuel you.

During your time as an employee, you can become a good follower or a good leader. The choice is yours, but do not be a stumbling block that prevents others from reaching their full potential. Working with an organisation gives you the opportunity to be promoted if your work is of the standard that the organisation expects it to be.

Working has a very interesting benefit for some people: that they will be able to find their purpose in life. While you might be able to find your purpose doing other things, work provides many opportunities, and before you know it, you may be operating skilfully in the area that you were destined for.

When you are at home, you will be able to receive some standard gifts and awards; however, working provides many opportunities for your skills and other things to be recognised. Some of the awards that you will receive can lift you to national and international recognition. Your recognition might provide you with opportunities where many people will see you as a mentor and coach.

Each day has its own challenges, but you must ride the waves of those challenges and remain happy. To be joyful at work is often a challenge for many people, but you must have purpose in your heart to be happy at work. You must set your mind and spirit to be positive before you leave home, and you must take that same positive emotion into your workplace. There are many people at the workplace who are looking forward to a joyful person like you refuelling them with positive energy. You must also be able to leave the workplace smiling and laughing. When employees want to hurt you, they must think again and ask themselves, “How can I affect someone that makes us feel so happy every day?”
