"No" is a powerful word. It defines boundaries at work (and in life). "No" makes our "Yes" stronger and clearer too. Here are my Friday thoughts on why defining boundaries is so important: https://t.co/WuKp3x5Cnx

Many companies are looking to scale up as they emerge from the pandemic. Yet, one of the biggest concerns is being able to scale with their culture intact. But, it’s entirely possible with a team-first focus rather than a top-down approach. Here's why: https://t.co/5ntTS1tqkd

This year's World Happiness Report focused its findings on COVID-19 with the results startling yet unsurprising. When we compare with our happiness data, companies that put wellbeing front and centre have navigated a stronger way through the pandemic: https://t.co/qcvO95cSqN

Take time at the end of each day to notice 3 things that went well. Research has shown practising gratitude daily is great for happiness. It also works well when you do it with a friend or colleague. So, why not set up a gratitude Slack channel or WhatsApp group! #fridaypulsetips

Getting better at your job is about learning. You don’t have to leave the frequency and quality of feedback that you receive to others. Decide what you’d like to improve and ask your manager & colleagues to reflect on the progress you’re making. #fridaypulsetips #happinessatwork

Too much time on video calls is leading to genuine fatigue for many of us. Look after yourself and try the 20/20/20 rule. Every 20 minutes give your eyes a break. Focus on something 20ft away for at least 20 seconds. #fridaypulsetips #happinessatwork #employeewellbeing

#internationaldayofhappiness is the perfect time to reflect on our experience of work. While we may feel that we can’t change much in the middle of a pandemic, the reality is that small adjustments to our working lives can have a big impact: https://t.co/1mga3Bi7kl

#internationaldayofhappiness in a pandemic seems odd! But the line between work and home has never been more blurred. That’s why happiness at work is important to your overall happiness. So it's a great time to ask yourself "How happy are you at work?" https://t.co/pk1bQqDN9I

Working from home has kept us from seeing our colleagues, especially people that are not in our immediate team. Who have you missed? Reach out and tell them what you’re missing. It’s never too late to hear from a good friend or work colleague. #fridaypulsetips #happinessatwork

Saturday (20 March) is International Day of Happiness. Here are 30 daily actions to help us look after ourselves and each other, and to lessen how emotionally and cognitively drained we may feel as the pandemic continues. #internationaldayofhappiness https://t.co/GuJ8AMnS5N

Often we rush onto the next challenge without stopping and taking stock of our successes. Every week, get into the habit of acknowledging (and celebrating) team successes. It will not only energise everyone but will help build on team achievements moving forward. #fridaypulsetips

It’s easy to believe we know how to do our jobs. Yet, there are always new ways to do things. Next time you think “I know how to do this”, pause and reflect on whether there might be a better way. Questioning yourself is the start of learning. #fridaypulsetips #happinessatwork

As things slowly start to open up again, after the past year, let’s ensure the reciprocal is true – that everyone can feel at home, at work. When we feel free to be ourselves, whether in the office or in our kitchen, we’re more motivated and creative. #fridaypulsetips

[Nic Marks @iamnicmarks]

In challenging times, it’s easy to forget to thank people for their good work. Appreciating others is not only respectful, it’s also good for the entire team as it creates a collaborative culture where people feel encouraged to contribute. #fridaypulsetips #happinessatwork
