Did you know that a happy employee is a productive employee?
Happiness has become a key indicator of job satisfaction in recent years. Companies who require high performance from their teams, and are interested in retaining talent, are striving to take care not only of their employee’s professional skills, but also their overall well-being in order to increase creativity, motivation, and loyalty.
What type of leadership is required to develope a team of happy people? What are the long-term rewards of having satisfied employees? What are the investments and risks?
