Or, Why Keep Employees Happy? I'm Paying Them, Aren't I?
Reason 1: A happy worker works harder.
Maybe a worker terrified of losing their job works pretty hard too, but the stress makes them more likely to make mistakes, and they may be bitter enough to intentionally sabotage the company.
Reason 2: A happy worker is better with customers and clients.
Even if your company is B2B, you're working with other people, and customers and clients prefer working with friendly, happy people.
Reason 3: A happy worker won't quit.
Good help is hard to find, and if you've found any, you don't want to risk chasing it off. Keep your employees happy enough that they aren't out there looking for other jobs.
Reason 4: A happy worker has a domino effect.
A good attitude can rub off. Happier employees cooperate better, not to mention the effects their good attitude can have on the quality of their work and the friendliness of their interactions with customers and clients.
Reason 5: Why not?
The world could use more happy people, right? You'll feel good about treating people well.
