Happy employees = increased productivity

According to FastCompany magazine "disengaged workers cost the U.S. economy $350 billion a year in lost productivity."

Happy employees are more productive and waste less resources and energy.

The 5 rules of happy employees:

  1. Happy employees don’t stay in one role for too long. Movement and the perception of improvement create satisfaction. Status quo, on the other hand, creates burnout.

  2. There is a strong correlation between happiness and meaning; having a meaningful impact on the world around you is actually a better predictor of happiness than many other things you think will make you happy.

  3. A workplace is far likelier to be a happy place when policies are in place to ensure that people regularly get acknowledgement and praise for a job well done.

  4. Recognize that employees are people first, workers second, and create policies that focus on their well-being as individuals.

  5. Emphasize work/life integration, not necessarily "balance."
