If you’ve ever had a sales job before, I’m sure you have heard of the familiar saying that “the customer is always right.” As nice as that sounds, it is not always true. Successful companies are realizing that they need to put their employees at the top of their priorities too. And most importantly, be one of the best places to work. Having happy employees equates having happy customers, resulting in a successful company.
In order to put this claim into context, a study was conducted to provide causal field evidence for this very relationship. The finding was that happy employees benefit the company. This study, led by Professor Andrew Oswald, Dr. Eugenio Proto, and Dr. Daniel Sgroi, found that happy employees are 12% more productive while unhappy employees are 10% less productive. According to Dr. Sgroi, happy workers work more efficiently and at an increasing pace while also maintaining quality.
Dr. Andrew Oswald has claimed that successful companies have the best places to work. For instance, Google have increased their employee satisfaction by 37% by investing in employee support and satisfaction which in turn produced happier workers. Google does this by providing more than just pay and benefit packages. Financial stability and job security matters, but so does engagement, growth, sense of value, and purpose.
Some argue that happier workers make better leaders.
The founder of Woohoo Inc., Alexander Kjerulf, claimed that, in his own experience, happy workers make better decisions, manage their time excellently, and possess crucial leadership skills.
Another study that proves the importance of happy workers is “The Science of Happiness at Work” by iOpener Institute. The surveyors found that happy employees stay with their companies four times longer and devote twice as much time to their tasks compared to unhappy employees. Also, according to the report, happy employees are 65% more energetic than unhappy ones.
Happy employees make happy customers.
It’s as simple as that and there are plenty of statistics and facts to back this up. Gallup’s “The State of the American Workplace” indicates that how engaged employees are results in better customer relationships, increasing sales by 20%.
Chick-fil-A is one of the most dominant and top fast food chains. The company generates more revenue per restaurant than any other fast food chain in the United States, and even 3 times as much as KFC. What is their secret? Beyond their excellent food, many analysts believe it is their excellent customer service that makes them stand out from other fast food places. Chick-fil-A does this by investing in its employees, keeping them happy, and, above all, being one of the best places to work in.
Your workplace is responsible for creating a setting and culture ideal for achieving happiness at work. But in the end, your happiness at work solely depends on you and you alone. Therefore, it is important to find a workplace that will certainly invest in the wellbeing of its employees and create an ideal work environment in which employees can grow and be appreciated.
