The power of happiness in the workplace: the real estate sector, the Happiest

The success of a company isn’t measured solely by sales or properties managed; a significant part lies in the well-being of the team and happiness in the workplace. We delved into this topic during a training session organized by DOM3, which we attended as members. Our CEO, Javier Nieto, participated in this event, which focused on a crucial topic: happiness in the workplace.

The session, led by Alex Ríos and Sergio Cancelo, founders of Happyforce, focused on providing tools and strategies to measure and improve workplace happiness. According to the Second Global Workplace Happiness Report, real estate professionals are the happiest, reflecting our commitment to the well-being of our employees.

The experts shared their vision on how workplace happiness can transform not only a company’s dynamics but also its long-term success. Their message was clear and compelling: a happy employee is not only more productive but also brings more creativity and enthusiasm to their work.

Strategies to Foster Happiness in the Workplace

During the event, Ríos and Cancelo offered practical strategies to foster happiness in the workplace. They highlighted the importance of autonomy, mastery, and purpose at work. At Pure Living Properties, we are adopting these ideas to ensure that every team member has the tools and support needed to thrive. Autonomy allows employees to feel in control of their work, mastery provides the opportunity to improve and hone their skills, and purpose connects them to a greater meaning in their daily tasks.

The speakers explained how happiness can double productivity in mechanical tasks and exponentially enhance creativity. This perspective is especially relevant in the real estate sector, where attention to detail and the ability to innovate are crucial. A happy team not only works more efficiently but is also more capable of offering creative and personalized solutions to our clients, thus improving the quality of the service we provide.

Happiness to Retain Talent

Talent retention is one of the biggest challenges in any industry, and real estate is no exception. However, the solution may be simpler than it seems: a positive and motivating work environment. The speakers emphasized that a workplace where employee well-being is valued and cared for is key to retaining top talent. At Pure Living Properties, we are implementing new initiatives to ensure our team feels valued and motivated, reducing talent turnover and creating an environment where everyone can thrive.

One of the most important lessons from the session was the importance of communication and connection among team members. High turnover, low productivity, or a dissatisfied team are reflected in the quality of service we offer. At Pure Living Properties, we are committed to fostering an environment where open and honest communication is the norm. Recognizing and rewarding good actions, resolving conflicts through dialogue, and promoting informal chats are practices we are implementing to create a positive and cohesive environment.

The well-being of our employees directly translates to the experience of our clients. A happy and motivated team delivers exceptional service, which is reflected in client satisfaction and our company’s reputation. At Pure Living Properties, we are convinced that a positive work environment not only benefits our employees but also significantly enhances the quality of the service we offer.
