Despite the current technological advances and massive investments in cutting-edge technology, corporations cannot forget that it is all about people. Keeping the human connection at the heart of commerce is a must for any organization. On that note, organizations are meant to create value in people’s lifes.
The pursuit of happiness is a fundamental element of humans, individuals. Happiness connects people more powerfully than almost any other human experience. In the corporate world, happy employees are loyal employees, and loyal employees can do amazing things.
Here are seven key reasons why creating a workplace people love is crucial for your business:
Happy people are more willing to work together for the common good. By improving relationships happy employees are more likely to be loyal to the company and more likely to encourage strong team-building.
Happiness at work can yield enormous benefits by improving relationships between employees, colleagues, and employers.
Happy employees are also more likely to stay with their employers for the long term.
A can-do attitude that allows them to succeed no matter what the challenge is. They truly care about the company and are driven to make it achieve its goals. Happy employees see opportunities where others only see hurdles.
Happy employees are creative and innovative. They think outside the box and they will create the solutions your business needs to succeed.
A way to learn how to make things right is also to make things wrong first. Mistakes can be a powerful learning tool that can lead to unforeseen success. Happiness at work encourages your team to learn from their mistakes rather than fear them.
Happiness is contagious and, when encouraged, can spread throughout every corner. People who enjoy their work can easily become shining role models for their fellow workers.
A mirror effect then happens and happy people influence team members without them even realizing it.
Employees who genuinely enjoy what they do at work are way more productive, happier, and therefore more successful. Probably you have experienced that nothing is more motivational than progress. When we see results is more likely that we continue having greater performance and at the same time success increases self-confidence.
Employee happiness creates an atmosphere that encourages people to feel engaged at work and at the same time it brings positive energy to their personal well-being and social circle. It is a win-win relationship. Highly engaged organizations have double, yes, double the rate of success than lower engaged organizations according to the Gallup Organization.
Happiness in the workplace is a powerful condition that brings success over time to all, the individual, the organisation, and the society. Developing a happy corporate culture amplifies an organisation’s abilities to achieve environmental, social, and corporate goals. This goes beyond the mere financial role of a corporation. A positive workplace culture inspires high levels of performance effectiveness, productivity, customer satisfaction, and employee engagement.
Highly engaged employees become the competitive edge of the organisations. Why not do everything to cultivate happy and engaged teams?
Laughter and humour at work are powerful. They can relieve unwanted tension and lessen stress effects. When making a joke about a stressful situation, a sense of dominance and control over it is developed. For team building, laughter creates and strengthens relationships and social bonds.
