How we process that loss can define who we are and help us move forward. \u201cSo, with this sense that this is a life of impermanence, what can we do differently \u2014 other than just ground ourselves in the things that matter most?\u201d Lim asked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><strong><em>&#8220;When I talk about happiness, I&#8217;m talking about when you feel authentically true to yourself. When you feel like you have a compass, you have a North Star, and you\u2019re able to be living that life on a day-to-day basis \u2014 a higher purpose.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p><cite>Jenn Lim, author and co-founder of Delivering Happiness<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Revisit what happiness and values mean to you during good and bad times \u2014 and especially during our lowest points. It\u2019s often in these moments that we discover our greatest strengths. \u201cIf we can actually take it in as a form of growth, versus a form of stress, it&#8217;s not to say we can erase all this trauma and loss,\u201d Lim said. \u201cBut we <em>can<\/em> make the choice to reduce that kind of impact it has on us for the rest of our lives.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happiness is learning how to live fully with our highs and lows while helping others do the same. But you have to nurture your own greenhouse before you can nurture others\u2019. Why do we instinctively know to charge our phones when they\u2019re draining, Lim said, but not ourselves? As a leader, you owe it to others and yourself to put your well-being first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-interconnect-to-adapt-and-thrive\">Interconnect to adapt and thrive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sequoias are extremely tall trees with relatively short root structures. \u201cThe reason why they&#8217;re able to actually adapt and thrive is because the root structure is all interconnected underneath,\u201d Lim said. Your business\u2019 roots are shared purpose and values, which connect every person across the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe as leaders can recognize that, if we get those values and behaviors aligned, we get a sense of making sure people feel they have autonomy, they feel aligned, they feel they have accountability,\u201d Lim said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/magazine\/jenn-lim-happiness-is-being-part-of-something-bigger\/\">Purpose<\/a> is a critical driver of workplace happiness. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatplacetowork.com\/resources\/blog\/purpose-triples-retention-at-best-regional-workplaces\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recent Great Place to Work survey<\/a> found that employees at purpose-driven workplaces have three times the intention of staying compared with other companies. To support employee happiness, help people identify their purpose, then align it at the individual, team, and organizational levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doubling and tripling down on purpose sustains the workforce during tough times, since \u201cwe&#8217;re better equipped to expect and embrace the changes that can happen in this very, very, very unpredictable world,\u201d Lim said.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-recommendedread-2mmB44 align  wp-block-lazyblock-recommendedread\">        <div class=\"recommended-read-notice\">Recommended Read<\/div> \n        <div class=\"recommended-read-box\">\n            <div class=\"recommended-read-image\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/12-Employee-Engagement-Ideas-to-Keep-Your-Team-Happy.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n            <\/div>          \n            <div class=\"recommended-read-text\">\n                <div class=\"recommended-read-categories\"><a href=\"\/employee-engagement\/\">Employee Engagement &amp; Retention<\/a><\/div>\n                <div class=\"recommended-read-title\">12 Employee Engagement Ideas to Keep Your Team Happy<\/div>\n                <div><a class=\"recommended-read-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/magazine\/12-employee-engagement-ideas-to-keep-your-team-happy\/\">Read Now<\/a><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-happy-community-starts-with-you\">A happy community starts with you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Health and happiness exist on a spectrum, and some days will inevitably be better than others. It\u2019s important to remember that showing up doesn\u2019t mean someone&#8217;s OK. \u201cIt\u2019s not just well-being anymore; it\u2019s \u2018whole-being,\u2019\u201d Lim said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business leaders are responsible for helping people be whole and healthy at work. But you can\u2019t invest in others if you aren\u2019t whole and healthy yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><strong><em>Business leaders are responsible for helping people be whole and healthy at work.

For some people, meditation provides clarity and reduces anxiety, while others benefit more from physical activity. Lim suggests taking the time to think about what makes you \u201cwhole\u201d \u2014 including your personal sense of purpose \u2014 and how to bring that to work. Find what works for you, and prioritize that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discovering your sense of purpose affects everyone around you. \u201cWhen you have these people, within your teams and organizations, that are individually living out their purpose \u2026 that ripples out to the team&#8217;s purpose, and then it ripples out to the organizational purpose,\u201d Lim said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you invest in your whole being, you can support the community through their highs and lows,&nbsp;all the while helping them stay grounded in purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/golive.on24.com\/event\/4110262\/registration\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"228\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/EHR-2023-Ocean-Horizontal-Text.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-90621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/EHR-2023-Ocean-Horizontal-Text.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/EHR-2023-Ocean-Horizontal-Text-480x148.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 740px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How we work isn\u2019t working.
