Fun Offices Make Workers Happier？
In order to make their employees happier，companies around the world have been busy installing play equipment in the workplace．Table football，computer games and action figures have become common in some workplaces．
Despite all this effort，unfortunately，work still makes people unhappy．According to a study by the London School of Economics，the place where people feel most miserable is work．
To proceed with an emphasis on being happy，however，other emotions are crowded out．Anger，sadness，anxiety and uncertainty all become a no-no．Such a ban on negative emotions can be emotionally bad for employees．A number of studies have shown that being able to express a range of positive and negative emotions is important，particularly when people are dealing with difficult experiences．
Besides，being constantly on the lookout for happiness may actually drive happiness away from us．Scientists have found that when we talk about how important happiness is，we become less likely to find it，even when we have experiences that usually make us happy．
Wanting to be happy at work is fair enough，but being forced to be happy at work can be troubling．If companies were genuinely interested in making their employees happy，they would perhaps look at some more"down-to-earth"interventions （務(wù)實的干預(yù)）．A simple step would be to stop interrupting workers with all sorts of pointless demands such as long emails and unnecessary forms．A study by Harvard Business School found workers felt most satisfied on days when they were able to focus on a piece of work and make meaningful progress on it．
In short，if companies really want to make their employees happier，they should think long and hard before pointless restructuring．
A study shows work still upsets people though companies are trying to make workplaces fun．Forcing employees to be happy is useless because being unable to express negative feelings is harmful and always looking for happiness deliberately will make people less happy．（高分句型）Rather，the effective way to make employees happy is not interrupt emplyees with meaningless tasks．．
