On average, humans spend about a third of their lives at work. And since the pandemic, there is a push for more money and better workplace culture.

Workplace happiness expert Jenn Lim joined NY1 to share how companies can create a happy workplace.

Lim is the best selling author of "Beyond Happiness" and the co-founder of the corporate consulting company Delivering Happiness.

According to Lim, there are four elements to creating happiness at work. People need to have the sense that they have control over decisions, that they're growing and developing, that they have meaningful connections and that there is purpose to their work.

To change the culture of a company, Lim suggests that leaders keep things simple. They should actively listen to their employees, make a transparent plan where wins are celebrated and challenges are acknowledged, plus double down on what is going well.
