The One Thing That Makes An Office Great

We're all guilty of sharing news that confirms our already-held beliefs. BUT my own experiences over a lifetime of work CONFIRM this finding: according to a new poll 84% of workers say that great colleagues is what makes a job great.

According to this poll:

84% of workers say that great colleagues are what makes a job great

54% of people say their co-workers make them happy on the job.

67% say that they have at least one co-worker they consider a close friend.

Those who like their co-workers are twice as likely to look forward to work (86% vs. 40%).

But there are things other than co-workers that go a long way towards making someone happy on the job. According to the survey they are:

Salary/benefits (56%)

Flexibility (53%)

Sense of purpose (45%)

Growth potential (44%)

Learning opportunities (39%)

Office environment/culture (39%)

Work tasks (38%)

Work events/happy hours (38%)

Interacting with clients/customers (37%)

I don't discount salary and benefits. But I am in agreement that what makes me happy at the job each day is the people in my office. I am in a unique position: you get to know most of them. But what you hear is what you get - the people at iHeart and their personalities make the job a joy each day.
