How to make your Job Happy
Start, work and end every day in BPO Philippines happy by trying out these tips.
CONSIDER PROMOTIONS CAREFULLY
Though getting promoted can be a happy occasion for one's career, longer work hours, demanding workload and more stressful responsibilities can come with the higher pay and position.
Unless this is what you really want to achieve, you're probably better off working in mid-level, while having the time and energy as well as resources to pursue what is truly your happiness.
CUT DOWN YOUR COMMUTE
Commuting could be everyone's least favorite daily activity, especially when caught in the morning, noon and evening traffic rush.
If it's safe and possible, walk or bike to work. You'll get daily exercise, and be more alert when you start your day.
You can do something that's the best of both worlds. Don't get stuck waiting for your commute to start, walk a couple of blocks to where you know there won't be any competition to get seats. Then if your office is in a heavy traffic area, drop of a stop that's convenient and walk all the way in.
SOCIALIZE AT WORK
Though there's could be nothing stopping you to skip out of the office at 5 PM, it can be beneficial if you stay to socialize with your co-workers.
Socializing at work can also mean sharing lunch or snacks, chatting between cubicles when allowed, or even communicating through email.
Primates, like chimpanzees, spend at least an hour a day for social activities. Humans being social animals require the same amount of time to be healthy.
Studies have shown that people who experience at least 7 hours a day in positive social activity at work or with family and friends tend to feel/be happier and more fulfilled in life.
GO CLUBBING
Join a club in the office or outside, engage in team sports or enjoy a new hobby that lets you connect with others, especially with your colleagues/officemates.
Enjoying a group activity can gain you more happiness gain. Humans are evolved social creatures, we are happier when we're interacting with other people of similar interests or shared backgrounds.

GET AWAY FROM WORK
When the weekends, vacation time or the holidays come, make the most of it not worrying about work or spending it in the office.

Beat the 3 PM Zzz Habit
By three o' clock in the afternoon, work in the office becomes difficult as our energy and focus weaken. Our whole body slows down, triggering the need to take a nap.
And the need is stronger if you slept late last night and had to still wake up early to beat the morning traffic commuting to work in BPO Philippines.
Though sometimes the best way to deal with the temptation to sleep/nap is just to give in for a set of ten minutes, most office environments tend to not support that.
Most of us turn to caffeinated beverages like coffee or soda, turn to smoking for the nicotine fix or eat copious amounts of chocolate or candy for the energy burst. But the price we pay for the sudden burst of energy is heavy, literally. We gain a few pounds in the process and feel more sleepy at the end.
There are more healthy ways to re-energize to see the work day through and complete the day's tasks so that when you get home, all you have to look to are your much deserved rest and relaxation.
