The key to professional fulfilment

Problem: How can I successfully create a fulfilling work environment, in order to arrive at the office feeling excited for the day ahead? How can I find a suitable, interesting and rewarding position in a professional setting?Uses: Work is where we spend most of our time. It therefore seems essential to be able to enjoy it and flourish.Professional context: Work psychology, work-life balance.FAQs:What are the key elements that lead to professional fulfilment?Is happiness at work possible for everyone?How can I make a positive change?How can I communicate with my boss?How can I thrive in a toxic work environment?What will my colleagues think of me if I quit now?I’m worried that my colleagues think I’m a fool – what should I do?Can I change jobs in the middle of my career?

While the unemployed continue to be demoralised, those who have jobs are told they should consider themselves very lucky. However, that statement appears quite relative if the job in question is not a source of fulfilment. Although work guides our lives and provides financial stability, it does not provide for all of our personal needs. It could even cause unhappiness that is difficult to put into perspective or eradicate.

Nonetheless, we live in a society where it is assumed that leisure time is a right. Some employers even use the harmony between private and professional life as an argument, offering the possibility of working from home or providing flexible working hours to suit their employees.

All that remains is to ensure the notion of professional fulfilment. What is this delicate balance that makes us look forward to the idea of going to work in the morning? How can we implement new habits based on one person, without negatively affecting an entire team? Is the value of one happy employee more than that of an unmotivated employee? How can we feel that we are in the right place and give meaning to our work? How can we make sure that we head home feeling accomplished, rather than crestfallen? In this guide we will look at how to do each of these things according to ten essential points, placing the key to professional fulfilment in your hands.

What makes a fulfilled employee?

In an ideal world, you would work on projects that are close to your heart, in a dynamic and friendly team. You would come home feeling relaxed, allowing you to enjoy your private life once you leave the office. Doesn’t that thought paint a pretty picture? Unfortunately, this ideal world does not yet correspond with the one that we experience every day.

Stress related to job instability, lack of questioning or even a lack of imagination makes us forget that all that time spent at work is actually a time to which every human being must be able to give meaning. Of course, some claim to be satisfied with a big paycheque at the end of each month. Yet, it is clear that even the high earners are seeking mainly to achieve greater professional fulfilment that goes beyond their salaries. At the end of the day, money isn’t everything.
