In the Globoforce Spring 2014 Workforce Mood TrackerTM, we asked American workers if they were happy at work.

They overwhelmingly said “Mostly.”Source: Globoforce Spring 2014 Workforce Mood Tracker

“I consider myself a happy person at work.”

2% 11%

“No.” “Mostly no.”

52% 35%

“Mostly yes.” “Yes.”Meh.

So we asked what did make them happy at work.

They said “Recognition.”

73%Being recognized

increased my happiness at work

This made sense. Because when they were more recently recognized they were a lot happier than average.
