Russians told about inspiring factors at work

Among the surveyed Russians, 42% of respondents are most inspired when their work benefits people. This is according to the results of a survey by Raboty.ru and SberMarketing, which were presented to Izvestia on November 29.

At the same time, 38% like to constantly learn and develop in their profession. For 30% of respondents the main source of inspiration are complex tasks and overcoming difficulties, for 29% - teamwork and communication with colleagues, for 22% - the opportunity to create something new and interesting. And 25% of the survey participants admitted that nothing inspires them in their work so far.

In addition, every tenth respondent (10%) considers themselves happy.

"The quality of life, the level of well-being and prosperity largely depend on professional activity. We spend two thirds of our time, energy and strength on work, so it is very important that it brings pleasure and self-fulfillment. If you choose a job to your liking and decide on your priorities, you can succeed not only in your professional life, but also in other spheres of life. After all, as our research has shown, work can influence the level of happiness," said Stanislav Andreev, General Director of SberMarketing.

In addition, 21% of Russians perceive their own work as an integral part of life, which always affects their sense of happiness. 36% try to separate their work life from their personal life, so workdays only sometimes affect their state of mind. Another 18% of respondents said that work processes rarely impact their well-being, and 25% of respondents feel no impact of work on their sense of happiness.

"Understanding the value of one's work and its importance to others is the foundation of personal motivation and professional growth. It serves as a source of inspiration, helps to be creative and look for new non-standard solutions. That is why it is so important for young people to take initiative, learn and develop in order to maximize their potential at their future place of work," added Alexander Vaino, Director of Young Professionals at the Agency for Strategic Initiatives to Promote New Projects (ASI).

In turn, deputy general director of the "Work.ru" service Alexander Veterkov added that professional happiness is not just a bonus to the salary, but the basis for productive work and self-realization.

"Pride in one's career encourages an employee not just to fulfill duties, but to work with dedication, show initiative and creativity. The company and management play a crucial role in this by supporting employees through growth opportunities, feedback, recognition and investment in training," he emphasized.

According to the survey, 51% of the respondents' greatest career satisfaction came from promotions and performance awards. Another 41% mentioned positive feedback from clients or colleagues, 33% mentioned successfully completing a challenging project, and 22% mentioned implementing a new idea that improved workflow. Helping colleagues in their professional development is highlighted by 20% of survey participants.

Earlier on November 19, it was reported that the majority of surveyed Russians (85%), who work from home for more than five years, do not want to return to the office. This was found out by analysts "Contur.Tolka". At the same time, 40% of respondents said that their productivity does not fall with this format of work.
