Arbejdsglæde (Danish) - Happiness at work

Do you look forward to Monday mornings? This Danish word might explain why! While we have no equivalent word in English, this wonderful Scandinavian concept translates to “happiness at work”.

This sense of happiness is about liking what you do, feeling that you make a valuable and valued contribution through applying your knowledge and skills, and having strong and positive relationships with your colleagues.

If you don’t have much arbejdsglaede right now, what is missing for you? What do you need to be thinking about in relation to your current role, company or career?
