POSITIVITY IN THE OFFICE 3 Ways To Bring Positivity To The Office BY RYAN CAIN, COMMERCIAL LINES BROKER/MARKETING COORDINATOR, CAIN INSURANCE W hen you are working in an office, you have to maintain a positive attitude. Your positive behaviour can bring more productivity into the office culture. When you are in the office, achieving your goals is only possible through the proper implementation of a positive attitude. BALANCE IN EMOTION Positive thoughts do not generate negative emotions like fear, anger, hate, or jealousy. Your positive thoughts always make you happy and keep you feeling good about yourself and other persons around you. Positivity makes you feel balanced and peaceful and also helps you to create a happy atmosphere in the office. Negativity, on the other hand, can drain the energy that you need and leads to anxiety and depression. MEMBERSHIP HAS ITS REWARDS!

Say hello when you see coworkers. If you get some time to chat, ask them positive questions like how they spent their weekend or evening. Don’t discuss uncomfortable topics and try your best to act in a positive way around shy employees. 2. APPRECIATION Motivate your employees by showing appreciation and don’t always mark their weak points. This small but positive gesture can bring more brightness to the day of your employees. Thank others if they help you in some way. It will make their day just a little bit better and show that you care about them. 3. HAVE FUN Another great way to bring positivity into your office is to have fun with your employees. Find a good occasion to celebrate at your office, such as birthdays or the success of achieving a goal. Maintaining a good, professional environment is important, but never make things too dull and boring. Your positive attitude and behaviour can help your employees give their best to their work. Encourage your employees to take breaks and have fun with their colleagues. + 14 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES • Financial Statements – Compilations, Reviews, and Audits • Corporate & Individual Tax Planning and Preparation • Bookkeeping, Payroll, and HST • Estate & Trust • Business Succession Planning • Corporate Reorganizations • Purchase and Sale of a Business • Charities and Not for Profit Organizations Daye Kelly & Associates 506-458-8620 www.dayekelly.com
