Joy and HR – Lessons for Creating an Intentionally Joyful Culture

About

What if joy at work isn’t a perk… but a performance strategy?

Most workplaces are still built around control, heroics, and burnout. But Rich Sheridan, founder, CEO and chief story teller at Menlo Innovations, argues something almost radical in today’s work culture:

People do their best work in environments they actually love being part of.

Rich defines workplace joy as externally focused delight in serving end users, distinct from perks or simple happiness. To him, joy is essential to productivity and profitability in the workplace.

Aside from founding and leading Menlo Innovations, Rich is also the author of the bests-selling books, Joy Inc. and Chief Joy Officer.

The conversation builds on each other, so if you didn’t listen from episode 1, you may want to go back to the previous episodes to get some background and understanding.
