Guess what. If you're happy on the job, you'll work more. On average-- 11 hours per week!

Not an astonishing A-HA yet it was a feature article in Money Magazine last month. (Yes, I'm behind in my blogging! But you can't sue a girl for that because the law associates-- not happy on THEIR job are working less. See my last blog if you don't believe me. )

What I did find interesting is that stress doesn't correlate to happiness- people could experience a lot of stress on the job (61% do) and yet still be happy at work.

After reading the entire article, it seems that the commonality between happiness was ease and ability to: take off when necessary, telecommute when necessary, have a flexible schedule and take the vacation time that they were due. The average time on the job for respondants 8 years. So the moral is make it easy for good people to work, and they in turn, will work more. Doesn't sound that hard does it?
