​Celebrating International Happiness in Work Week: The Power of a Smile when Working in Care

As we celebrate International Happiness in Work Week, it’s a great time to reflect on what happiness truly means and how we can bring more of it into our daily lives, especially when you are working in care.

​At our recruitment agency, we believe that happiness isn’t just a feeling; it's a choice, a mindset, and a vital component of the care we provide.

​

The Power of a Smile

One of the simplest yet most powerful ways to spread happiness is through a smile. A smile is universal—it transcends language, culture, and age. For those in our care, a smile can mean so much more than just a facial expression. It can be a lifeline to connection, a signal of kindness, and a reminder that they are seen and valued.

Research shows that smiling releases endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine—the "feel-good" hormones—creating a positive feedback loop of happiness not only for the person smiling but also for the one receiving it. For those of us working in care, this small act can make a big difference in the lives of clients who may feel isolated, anxious, or in pain. It’s a simple, yet effective way to bring light into someone’s day.

Creating Happiness, One Moment at a Time

​At Nurseplus, we place a strong emphasis on hiring carers who understand the profound impact of emotional well-being. Beyond providing quality care, we look for those who know that working in care is not just about physical assistance but also about emotional support. A smile, a kind word, or a listening ear can change the entire experience of care for someone.

Our carers are trained to focus not just on the tasks at hand but on the happiness of our clients. They know that happiness is found in small moments—in a shared laugh, a heartfelt conversation, or simply being there to hold a hand. These moments of joy and connection can create a sense of belonging and comfort for those we care for, improving both their mental and physical health.

The Ripple Effect of Happiness in Care

​When working in care, it's important to prioritise happiness as it doesn’t just benefit the clients—it creates a ripple effect. Happy clients lead to a more positive environment, which in turn boosts the morale of our carers. A contented team of carers is more motivated, engaged, and able to provide the highest quality of care. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.

At Nurseplus, we place our focus on ensuring our carers are supported during their work so they can thrive in their personal and professional lives. Through constant check-ins, our local branch teams are able to address carer concerns and support, where possible, our carers needs and wants.
