210 2b.1) Productivity Again the experience of continued productivity within the workplace appeared to add greatly to the experience of a good working day. Individuals are often seemingly well engaged with their work, and thus being able to complete work is adding to their pleasant working experiences. Productivity was primarily expressed through the feeling of completing a number of tasks throughout the work day. Example response 1 (Cartimandua): “Achieved a task that should make me more work that I need to have to others.” Example response 2 (AT): “I got lots done and felt a lot of burden lifting.” productive and identified 2b.2) Peer Support As well as being helped out by peers, also helping others and working together as a team helped to explain why peer support was one of the areas which was working well. Peer support also serves to remove the necessity for too much input from supervisors and management. Example response 1 (biker30): “Giving up a few minutes of my time really helped out a colleague.” Example response 2 (hard copy respondent): “Minimal supervisor input – team working well together.”
211 2b.3) Communication Having the ability to communicate effectively with colleagues, management, employees and customers was a further method by which individuals felt that their day was improved. This lateral and horizontal communication appeared to play a strong part in both peer and management support by allowing the quick flow of information. Example response 1 (Knackered!): “I managed to create and get all the various other departments.” Example response 2 (Sally): “It was really enjoyable welcoming people to the site and joke with them.” communication out to having a laugh and 2b.4) Able to Concentrate Being able to concentrate while working without disturbances was a simple method of reducing everyday hassles that individuals faced. This often meant being productive and managing to get more work completed. Example response 1 (Cartimandua): “I managed my time and was not disturbed so made good progress.” Example response 2 (rudedog): “NO interruptions WFH (working from home).” 2c) Areas not Working as Well “What didn’t go so well”
