MIAMI, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A recent OysterLink poll revealed that the greatest source of joy at work comes from people and team connections. More than half of respondents (56%) said that “people & good team vibes” are what make their workday most enjoyable.
The poll, conducted among more than 100 hospitality professionals, asked: “What brings you joy at work?”. While teamwork was the clear frontrunner, other factors also played an important role. About 16% of respondents pointed to challenges as a key source of fulfillment, 7% highlighted the value of taking breaks, and 21% said it was a combination of all factors.
“These results reflect what many in hospitality already know — a positive team culture is the backbone of job satisfaction,” said Milos Eric, General Manager at OysterLink. “While challenges and personal time matter, it’s the people around you who create an environment where you can thrive.”
OysterLink continues to spotlight the voices of restaurant and hospitality professionals, using polls, interviews, and insights to better understand what drives job satisfaction and retention in the industry.
