The only thing that might trump being HAPPY, is being healthy. However, happiness is fundamental to a person’s overall well-being and can even affect our mental and physical health at times. That is why HAPPY employees are so very important to us and why HAPPY is one of our 4H Core Values.
So, what does HAPPY mean?
hap-py /’hapē/ - adjective
1. feeling or showing pleasure or contentment
2. having a sense of confidence in or satisfaction with (a person, arrangement, or situation)
This is the definition of HAPPY in the dictionary, but happiness can look differently to each one of us. Connie Huston, Accounting Clerk and 9-year veteran of MMI Industrial and Steel, believes
“HAPPY is not something we can be 100% of the time. We all have lots of emotions that we cycle through according to the circumstances we are facing. In a broader sense, I do believe we can pursue a life we can be HAPPY with. What that life looks like is different for us all, as well as the ways we go about achieving it. Yours probably looks different than mine, but I believe we all deserve to be HAPPYand are free to determine what that looks like for ourselves.”
Happiness comes in many forms, shapes, sizes, and circumstances for all of us, but it isn’t less important for any one person or another. At MMI Industrial and Steel, we want our employees to be HAPPY. It is in the best interest of our employees, their families, our business and ultimately, the customers we serve.
