Is the pursuit of workplace happiness worth it?

Employers are constantly searching for the best methods to keep staff engaged, motivated and happy at work.

Some organisations have even gone so far as to hire ‘Chief Happiness Officers', and have fixed slides, football tables and even bars in the office.

However, the place where we feel most miserable is work, according to a recent study by the London School of Economics. The only place and circumstance that makes us feel worse is being sick in bed.

The prolonged myth that being happy at work equals being more productive has been long studied, but the results are inconclusive.
