Well, it had to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was only a matter of time before inquisitive researchers decided to do a survey to prove the obvious: Employees\u2019 job satisfaction favourably impacts organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we know, happy workers increase productivity, go the \u2018extra mile\u2019 and become willing cheerleaders, (without being asked) of companies\u2019 brands, thereby boosting their reputations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is all common sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here\u2019s the kick: This report<\/a> reveals, among other things, that happy employees may actually make organisations richer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, they drive financial outcomes; this is not a vague conjecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ultimate trade-off seems simple: Organisations strive to provide A,B,C (or whatever their employees value the most, which might not necessarily be more money). Then the happy, engaged employees<\/a> do their jobs plus <\/em> X,Y,Z.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A win-win situation for both the employees and the companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we want to be helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
