What brings you joy in the workplace? I know what brings me joy. Perhaps we share meaning about joyful events and circumstances? I trust that in sharing mine, I remind you of yours.

It's easy to get so bogged down in the day-to-day busy that we forget to cherish the best moments, those moments that provide the motivation necessary for continued contribution. What motivates the motivators? Here are my motivators^[1]. What brings you joy - both inside and outside of work?

What brings your organization's employees joy? I know pay raises, promotions, and security are high on most employees' lists. We can disagree about money as a motivator, but these are key things that employees want from work^[2]. These are the keys to employee satisfaction^[3].
