Mike Petrusky asks Tracy about the upcoming release of her newly updated book, "The Secrets to Happiness at Work", where she delves deeper into the role of work in our lives and how we can create conditions for happiness and fulfillment at work. Tracy believes that work can be a significant source of happiness as we are contributing to our community, purpose, and personal identity. The current popular narrative of work as a negative experience needs to be combated as we seek to find a balance between time spent in the office and time spent working remotely. Tracy offers advice about how workplaces can be designed for a variety of experiences, offering a range of settings matched with an inclusive and trustworthy culture. Mike and Tracy explore the “paradox of happiness” and share inspirational quotes and music that will encourage you to become a Workplace Innovator in your organization!
