CareersAbraham Lincoln says, "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." Organization psychologists put forth that employee happiness is critical for organizational success as happy employees quantifiably translate into bigger profits and such happiness may not always be achieved through rewards. Global research also proves the direct linkage between employee engagement, customer satisfaction and revenue growth. Recognizing the significance of employee engagement, Tata AIA Life designed and launched two employee engagement initiatives in 2012 namely 'Full on Fun' and 'YOU' (Year of You) with the idea to build an energized and vibrant workforce. With success and learning, the initiatives were enhanced and in the year 2013, launched as 'Full on Fun Series II' and 'YOU Plus'.
This initiative promotes employee involvement and fun at the workplace, it has a host of interesting activities under its umbrella - including Whacky Wednesday, Annual Day Celebrations, Annual Sports Day, WOW! (World of Work), Reach for the Stars, and many more. While some of the activities are conducted on a weekly basis to keep up with the tempo of having fun at work, some are annually held. The idea behind this initiative is to engage employees with fun and frolic, however, each activity has been designed to engage employees constructively and inculcate a sense of ownership amongst them.
