This article by Jennifer Moss highlights something we all feel but don’t often talk about – the crucial link between happiness at work and productivity.
Research shows that happier employees lead to a 13% increase in productivity. That’s a crazy impact! On the flip side, unhappiness at work costs the world a staggering $7.8 trillion in lost productivity.
Here are some key takeaways from her read on ways to improve this:
Step 1: Embrace Flexibility. Pandemic-proven productivity with remote work – don’t claw it back. It’s the way forward.
Step 2: Rebuild Belonging. Loneliness is real. Bring back the water cooler moments, have fun, and foster real connections.
Step 3: Restore Purpose. We all need it. A culture of autonomy, belonging, and shared purpose fuels success.
No more excuses. Let’s prioritise happier workplaces.
