Positive Psychology at the workplace captures the active positive interventions that an employee and/or employer can implement to foster a healthier and happier work environment. By focusing on elements of positive psychology such as work as meaning, positive emotions, character strengths, educational and professional development, job crafting, and work design, I have performed an integrative analysis of positive interventions that can be introduced at the workplace to create job satisfaction, resiliency, and human thriving. Through scholarly research, I have analyzed factors that help employees flourish in the workplace, and identified how that impacts the overall success of their organization. This paper explores the best and worst practices, as well as the effects those practices have on turnover rates, financial impacts, and how companies can avoid creating a toxic work environment.
