Participating in Friday Pulse when you’re unhappy

When you're feeling unhappy at work, it can be tempting to skip Friday Pulse altogether. But it’s potentially one of the most important times to take part.

Understanding and managing frustration at work

Frustration is a natural part of working life. It often occurs when something prevents us from achieving a goal, meeting an expectation, or working in the way we would like.

Building positive relationships at work

When we feel connected to the people around us, we're more likely to enjoy our work, collaborate effectively, support one another through challenges, and perform at our best.

Being fair to yourself and others

Treating people fairly, showing appreciation, and respecting the fact that everyone has a life outside of work are all important parts of creating a happy workplace. But fairness isn't only about how we treat others - it's also about how we treat ourselves.

Finding the right kind of challenge in your work

Feeling challenged at work doesn’t have to mean feeling overwhelmed. The right level of challenge helps us stay engaged, continue learning, and enjoy what we do.

Looking after your mental health at work

Looking after your mental health is important at all times, but it can become particularly challenging during periods of pressure, uncertainty, change, or loss.

Reclaiming your power at work

Feeling able to influence your work, make decisions, use your strengths, and contribute positively to your team is part of feeling happy at work.

Finding purpose and motivation at work

When we understand why our work matters, we're more likely to feel motivated, resilient, and proud of what we do.
