Enjoying Your Time At Work
Some people are lucky enough to enjoy everything about their job, but that isn’t the case for most people. A lot of people head into work each and every day, counting down the hours until they can go home. We do everything we can here at Rainbow to not make that case for our workers. Sadly, that isn’t the case for workers elsewhere. Luckily, there are simple ways to better enjoy your time at work.
Here’s How You Can Maximise Your Enjoyment at Work
Set Personal, Achievable Goals
It’s always helpful to set personal goals at work, regardless of whether or not you have already been set goals as a team. Having a personal goal gives you something to focus on throughout the day, something for you to enjoy when you finally achieve it. It doesn’t need to be a complex goal or something that’s going to take a long time, a goal as simple as completing a certain number of tasks in a day will work well.
Have Fun With Your Coworkers
Though you are sure to have friends outside of work, it is a good idea to bond with your coworkers as much as possible. Having coworkers you enjoy talking to and who you want to spend time with can make the workday a lot more fun. Even when you don’t want to go to work, you can look forward to catching up with friends.
We try to have fun as much as possible with each other here. Once a quarter, we like to treat our entire roster to a night of food, drinks and nightclubbing. It’s a great way to unwind after a hectic period and to treat the hardworking men and women who make this company great.
Regularly Ask for Feedback
Even if you know that you are doing a good job, it’s always beneficial to ask for feedback. Having someone else confirm that you are performing well can help you to enjoy your time at work. Not only can it encourage you to work harder and to continue being an asset to the team, but it’s also a great confidence boost. When you are confident in what you are doing, you are likely to enjoy it more.
Avoid Workplace Negativity
It doesn’t matter how positive you feel about your job, negativity from other people can have a huge impact on your time there. When you surround yourself with gossip and people complaining, you will find it a lot more difficult to enjoy your time at work. Try to avoid workplace negativity and spend time with people who are positive, motivated and happy.
We like to eradicate any negativity or issues that are floating around the office immediately. We make sure that we have competent line managers to deal with any queries or issues that surround our employees. We want to deal with any lingering problems as quickly as possible so there aren’t any troubles.

If you’re going to be spending a third of your life at work, you have to do everything you can to enjoy your time there. You don’t want to get to a point where you dread opening your eyes every morning and counting down the minutes until you leave. Remember, if you’re not enjoying where you’re working now, it doesn’t mean that it’ll be that way wherever you go. If you can, try and make the most of a bad situation.
