Engineering Culture By Infoq

In this podcast, recorded at the Agile India 2019 conference, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Maartje Wolff and Fennande van der Meulen. Why listen to this podcast: • If you want to transform organisations and make them future-proof, then happiness is crucial to success because happy people get better outcomes • When people feel they have a meaningful job that contributes to meaningful results, feel connected to their colleagues and are able to have fun at work they are more engaged which gives better results for the individuals and for the company • The drivers for happiness are different for each person – there is no single recipe that can be applied to every organisation • Happy companies have formulated their purpose very clearly and have translated that purpose to values and linked those values to behaviours • The four pillars of a happy workplace are: o Purpose – having a meaningful job o People – feeling connected, belonging to the group o Progress – making progress tow
