The betterment of any organization depends on the performance of its employees. And a happier employee doesn’t just means employees with happy faces but employees with happy and positive intentions. And truly happy employees are extremely important for the growth of an organization. Being happy at your workplace means you thoroughly enjoy the work you do and you also you love the environment you work in.
Sadly enough, having a job where you can enjoy your work and also your surroundings will is a dream for many. But there are studies led by the University of Oxford, companies with happier employees tend to have 13% extra productivity.
Here are 5 points that state the reason why happier employees are more productive:
- More Driven
Most of the time happy employees care about the company they are working for. And this makes them work harder their driven nature will not just help their career but also the company will also grow with their indulgence at work. When personnel is willing to work hard to meet up the goals set by the company can lose interest but when they are working towards that goal they have set for themselves works out better.
- More Loyal
A company has to have employees who are completely loyal to the company. Employees who are happy with their work, work environment, and also the amount they are getting at the end of the month, will stay in the company for a longer period, unlike others. And having resilient personnel will work better toward the overall growth of the company. And appreciation will also breed satisfaction and happiness which will lead to better productivity.
- Better Health
For a long time, mental health has been taboo in various countries. Whilst some are still discomforted by this topic, people who are not happy with their work and company will not have that much-needed peace of mind. It has been widely proven that a bad mental stage drains people and leads to further ailments both mentally and physically. But employees who are happy with their work will derive from the work they are given and they will show zeal in their performances.
- Prolific at Their Work
Breeding like rabbits can be used in this scenario, where a happy employee will breed more work and will submit on time without any delays. When a tree is watered properly and appropriately treated then it will bloom better and the results will satisfy the gardener. Similarly, when an employee is provided properly with the needs they have they will also flourish at their assigned work.
- Willing to Take Risks
Happy employees will also be willing to take calculated risks. Most of the time employees who are not completely satisfied with their work will not think twice before saying “NO” to a risky proposition. The happier employees will be excited to choose whether to take a premeditated risk for the betterment of the company or not. Mistakes are inevitable any or everywhere but the feeling of failure shouldn’t restrain employees to take risks, and happier ones will not hesitate before taking one, obviously with precautions, even if they are aware of the possible downfall of that step.
Innovative, hard-working, resilient, gritty, driven, creative, and dedicated are some of the adjectives that an employee get when they deliver their work properly and on time. Even a basic book on child psychology will say that appreciation will deliver affluent works. Happy employees will create a supportive environment while unhappy employees will either walk on eggshells or create a hostile ambiance around them. With happier employees, it is more fun to work with whilst less happy employees will not offer this positive environment.
