Scion Turbocharged November 11, 2014 Share November 11, 2014 ladies and gentlemen, we learn a new word today ----> under happy [rolleyes] *last i googled, i couldn't find any definition for it... so it's certainly a newly created word or phrase or whatever you call it Employees in Singapore are ‘Under Happy’: Workplace happiness survey Employees chalked up a score of 59 out of 100 on the overall workplace happiness index Published: 9:59 AM, November 11, 2014 SINGAPORE — A new national workplace happiness survey found that employees here could be happier, after they chalked up a score of 59 out of 100 on the overall workplace happiness index. The score falls within the band of ‘Under Happy’ (51 to 67) which is between ‘Unhappy’ (0 to 50) and ‘Happy’ (68 to 100). The survey, conceived by the Singapore Human Resources Institute and consulting firm Align Group, sought to use scientific measures to create the first national benchmark on happiness at the workplace. It qualified workplace happiness through 28 factors, sorted into four categories — satisfaction, alignment, engagement and well-being. The survey also found that happiness is related to one’s personal perception of their job and their experience at work. This meant that the ability of the company in promoting pride, positive emotions, sense of achievement and improving its culture and role fit would influence how happy its employees might feel. Survey findings also showed that workplace happiness drivers are not universal. Different groups of employees would relate more to certain happiness drivers. For instance, women workers preferred a fair and inclusive workplace, and members of Generation Y favoured positive emotions at work. Over 5,000 respondents took part in the survey, conducted between April and August this year. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make the people happier? Edited November 11, 2014 by Vid 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or "Contended"? Are they trying to be funny or creative? Or they are just trying to justify the feelings of normal Singaporeans, so as to cover something? Guess they must come out with word so as to justify their work to make them happy and not unhappy....

Oh well What they are trying to say is that we are just 'under' happy, not really happy at all but slightly niah.... In percentage, should be around 75% ~ 90% happy niah. Not 100% happy ... = happy = 'under' happy (still can manage a very small smile) = unhappy Edited November 11, 2014 by Picnic06 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
