Why is employee happiness important to us ?

People used to believe that you didn’t have to be happy at work to succeed. But this does not holds good any more…,

Let’s consider a few statistics to understand why:

• Happy employees stay in their      job four times longer than unhappy employees;
• Happy employees are 12% more productive;
• Happy employees commit twice as much time to their tasks;
• Happy employees have 65% more energy than unhappy employees.

Clearly, having happy employees isn’t a bonus; it’s a necessity for every successful workplace. Productivity, motivation, dedication and retention all depend on it.
