Why we need happy employees?

If an employee is happy, his productivity increases and vice-versa. Even if we are not getting into the details of these researches, it’s a common psychology factor and we are very much aware of it.

How to create happy employee?

To answer this question, we first need to know, what makes the employees happy. There are two answers to this, an obvious one and one not-so-obvious one. The obvious answer is Money, which provides them safety. You pay them well and they will work better. True. But wait; there is one more not-so-obvious answer. More than money & safety, employees look out for recognition, respect, satisfaction and a sense of belonging. These things make them happy.

To provide them happiness, the leaders need to create an environment which spreads happiness. The employees should freely express their opinion to their coworkers as well as to the management without fearing any prejudice treatment. The management should organize things in such a way that the employees can find a sense of belonging in the organization. It is also the duty of the management to check o​​ut the progress level of the employee in their work. The training session, the feedback session and the interaction sessions should be there at each workplace. The management should have ears to listen to the employees.
