Interview Patty

A Happy Worker Is a Productive Worker

Business Consulting for Women Entrepreneurs in Houston

Unhappiness among workers in America is costing a shocking $300 billion per year in lost productivity, the Gallup-Healthways estimates. The recent Well-Being Index shows that Americans are increasingly unhappy with their jobs and work environments. When people aren’t happy with their jobs or their employers, they don’t show up consistently, they produce less and their work quality suffers. A 2011 Harvard Business Review article stated that the level of happiness has a profound impact on workers’ creativity, productivity, commitment and collegiality.

Current American Psychological Association research findings show that people want contentment, love and happiness derived from meaningful work. They want nourishing personal relationships, a healthy mind and body, a spiritual core and a reason for living. But with only 24 hours in a day and all the competing demands of modern life, the question is — how? Is it even possible? How can you as a manager, facilitate your employees’ happiness and consequently increase your company’s success as well as your own?

First you (as well as your company) need a defined mission/reason for being. With an established purpose, you can manage and prioritize the energies and resources to best fulfill the mission. Work and life have meaning when we feel what we are doing creates worth and is in alignment with what we value. There are five life factors that need to be kept in dynamic balance to achieve and maintain happiness and productivity. Understanding people’s motivators will help you to structure your work environment and to develop products and services that truly serve your customers.
