How to Ensure Employees’ Happiness

With best efforts put ahead towards hiring, it requires more deliberated personal touch by the management or business owners to retain staff.

Is there a correlation between happiness, productivity and a happier work environment? Most definitely, there are enough research done to prove it.

Ensuring that staff are happy results in an increase in productivity and happiness. This is not rocket science but it just often skips our common sense.

It is true that a raise or an increase in benefits can lift morale but it is just a momentary solution, so let’s take a broader view for a long-term impact. This is much required as we are going to manage a workforce of millennials.

Understanding the perspectives and psyches or basically what makes them tick is fundamentally the most important aspect.  What’s important to them is no longer just work and climbing the corporate ladder. Employees are presently saying “what else is there in this place to keep me?”. We should allow organic engagement and community building to take place. This will facilitate growth and learning.

Devote empathy into what others are thinking, and there will be lesser chance of disgruntlement and turnovers, especially with star performers. Present day’s employees require space too, to explore and create efficiency in their area of work. That will increase creativity and productivity. The traditional mindset of “top-down” work delegation is no longer the acceptable norm.

With best efforts put ahead towards hiring, it requires more deliberated personal touch by the management or business owners to retain staff. The strategy should be focused on making the staff really satisfied. The amazing result is a welcoming environment where people will gladly come to work happy and produce work effectively and efficiently.
