We spend about one third of our active adult life at work. Researches show that around 75% of people are not happy or engaged at work.
Therefore, it is so much more important that work fulfils us, that we enjoy what we do and that Happiness at Work becomes a way of life. For individuals, teams, organizations and society.
It is proven that happy employees are more satisfied, engaged, efficient, successful, creative and productive; they cultivate growth mind-set, build better relations, are communicating better and are better team members.
Generally speaking, they are healthier, more optimistic, more social, resilient and anti-fragile, they are more present at work (physically and psychologically) and stay longer with their employer.
And last but not least they make customers happier and therefore more loyal.
Happy employees represent an important competitive advantage for every employer.
They substantially contribute to the attractiveness of the employer brand and are the best ambassadors of organisations and companies.
Happiness at Work also contributes to lower costs of absenteeism, fluctuation and to best talent attraction rates. It promotes better selling results, higher profits, better ROI and higher market values.
Happiness at work as a business concept encourages organisations to identify and strengthen the positive aspects of work life – like meaningful relations and results.
As it is an integral concept of leading modern organisations and based on the business model of “happy loop”, it is becoming a key factor for business success and the strongest drive for successful individuals and for excellent outstanding teams.
Mostly because it enables co-creation of work environment where employees feel good, find the meaning in their work and are connected as a team.
Their work life is based on open communication and trust, that’s why it is easier for them to be successful at realizing their vision and reaching the goals set.
