A recent study conducted by WBS has shown that hybrid-working has enabled more individuals to enjoy their jobs. The rise of job listings mentioning “passion” as a requirement and younger workers’ prioritization of work-life balance has sparked discussions on whether falling in love with work is out of fashion.

Positive emotions can also promote teamwork, trust, and a sense of belonging. Psychologist Barbara Fredrickson suggests that experiencing joy at work can broaden horizons and improve abilities over time.
