"Have you ever woken up and thought – Ugh, I don’t want to go to work today? Work can be less than pleasant at times, however there are many benefits to having a positive attitude at work.
Choosing your attitude – positive or negative?
Your attitude is a form of expression of yourself. You can choose to be happy, positive and optimistic, or you can choose to be pessimistic and critical, with a negative outlook on your workday. A positive attitude helps you cope better under stressful situations at work.
Workplace attitudes have an effect on every person in the organisation, from the employees to the clients and even the company owner. Attitudes help to develop the prevailing workplace environment that determines employee morale, productivity and team building abilities.
A negative attitude in the workplace creates an atmosphere of distrust among employees and causes employees to attempt to achieve success at the expense of each other. On the other hand, in a workplace with a positive attitude, competition is seen as a motivator that inspires employees to perform at their best to improve productivity and encourages creativity so they feel that their ideas will contribute to the success of the organisation."
