I worked in a public sector bank for almost 35 years. What brings great joy in workplace and how I sustained the same job with full satisfaction for 35 years

In year 80s lots of changes were happening in our society. The emphasis started to be on girl child. I belonged to a family where gender made no difference and only motto of our parents was that we all four kids should be well educated and should land in a good job.

Then competitive exams had started and to get a job in bank was something like infer luxury. Although we came from strict competitive exams. But unlike today's scenario there were not many job opportunities and when we joined, we joined only with this intention that someday we will inperannate from this office which eventually happened.

Now what brings you great joy in the workplace?

The answer is, know what brings you joy. It is easy to get bogged down in day to day life that we forget to cherish the best moments which keep you happy. The most exiting thing which keep me in the institution was motivation , used to make my work challenging exciting guidance from seniors. All these things were worth my time.

1) I used to watch people grow and develop in their decision making and performance I used to take it as a challenge that I will also grow like this.

2) My bosses my bank customers used to take advice from me and my experience in a confident direction which used to boost my wisdom.

3) Another guiding force, I used to see my other co-workers smiling and doing the job enthusiastically.

4) Being in public dealing job meeting new people greeting them with pleasure and they telling us that they feel pleasure in our organization was the greatest satisfaction.

5) Team work and achievements of targets was another guiding force.

6) I usually use to hangout with positive co-workers and not a single bad word either from co-workers or customers against my institution was acceptable.

7) Usually had supportive relationship with my boss. Used to work over and above my capacity. Used to be instigator for any change.

All this lead to a positive change and job satisfaction success breeds more success, experience increased my self confidence and self esteem.

I never used to take burden of my personal life to office or vice versa.

Dedication towards work was the key factor. Used to think that my one day absent from the bank will hamper its growth. There should be no negativity against your workplace.

Moving down the memory lane, I feel accomplished which paints spring on my and joy in my heart and now?

Feel thet I accomplished and contributed everyday of my job that is why sustained there for 35 years happily.
