Innovative Thinking

Two just published studies uncovered that happiness boosts productivity and lifespan.   In fact, a happy employee is approximately 12 to 25% more productive.  On the other hand, one unhappy employee, making a salary of $65,000 dollars a year can cost a company about $4000 dollars in lost productivity a year.  Now imagine a company of 50 or 100 unhappy employees and how much that can hurt.

So how do we make people happy?  Sometimes the things we think are going to make us happier, don’t in fact make us any happier.
