This article describes ways to apply five empirically validated positive interventions: searching for the positive core; intentionally increasing positive emotion; establishing conditions for flow; handling negatives more resiliently; and celebrating positives more effectively. Explanation of each intervention includes its theoretical background practical ways to adapt it to specific workplace settings and illustrations from real experience.
