Happiness and dollars.\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #531083\"><strong>The Value of Happiness<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>This slide summarizes the outcomes impacted <\/strong>when you and or your organization hold a positive perspective on life and work.<a href=\"https:\/\/theexecutivehappinesscoach.com\/files\/2017\/07\/chart.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-4505\" src=\"https:\/\/theexecutivehappinesscoach.com\/files\/2017\/07\/chart-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"288\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Individuals who nurture happiness and positive emotions<\/strong> report feeling better in all domains of their life (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual); have better health outcomes (sick less often&#8211;and when they are sick, quicker recovery); better short-term and long-term relationships; more energy, and a different relationship with stress.<br \/>\n<strong>It&#8217;s not that happier people don&#8217;t experience challenges in life, rather that they have a different relationship with them.<\/strong> Happier individuals tend to look at obstacles and setbacks as temporary, whereas individuals who do not nurture positive emotions tend to see obstacles or setbacks as permanent, and happiness as temporary and elusive.<br \/>\n<strong>How do those individual benefits accumulate at the group level? Here are 11 Organizational Benefits to nurturing Happiness in the workplace:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Creativity.<\/strong> Being creative is a natural talent we are all born with. Fear and stress cause us to shrink back and avoid risk, stifling creativity. Happy people feel more comfortable offering their best ideas.<br \/>\n<strong>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Productivity:\u00a0<\/strong>Here is a <strong>2014 study<\/strong> which suggests that <strong>raising people\u2019s happiness makes them more productive by between 7% and 12%.<\/strong> What CFO is going to turn their nose up at a 10% return on investment? Remember that this increase in productivity is achieved without increasing payroll. We&#8217;re talking Big Dollars here! If you had 50 employees, averaging $60,000 in base pay ($3MM payroll), you could invest $100,000 a year in leadership development, employee perquisites, working conditions, and teambuilding ($2000 per year per employee) toward improving your culture and workplace positivity, and still have a <em>200% return on your investment<\/em>, despite having &#8220;expensed $100,000,\u201d which feels like a lot of money until you think about it as an investment.<br \/>\n<strong>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Problem-solving.<\/strong> Happy people find it easier to step outside of their own perspective and look at situations from multiple perspectives. Combined with a higher level of comfort in the creative space, happy people are better at solving problems.<br \/>\n<strong>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Resiliency. <\/strong>Again, it&#8217;s not that happy people don&#8217;t experience the same life and career setbacks that plague us all. It&#8217;s just that those who practice gratitude and optimism find it easier to regain their balance and bounce back. This leads to the next point about employees which is:<br \/>\n<strong>5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Dealing with change.<\/strong> Organizational and environmental change&#8211;at the speed of life&#8211;is a constant. Humans are biologically programmed to resist change when they first encounter it. Those who are better at bouncing back or quickly adjusting their stories to accept a new reality find change easier to absorb.\u00a0Organizations that understand this may even screen for happiness as they hire and promote people. The larger the percentage of positive-minded people in an organization, the more rapidly that organization can dance with change.<br \/>\n<strong>6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Physical health. <\/strong>After payroll, medical benefits are the second largest people expense in most organizations.\u00a0Even before Positive Psychology came along, most healthcare professionals could tell you that those who entered the healthcare space with a positive mental attitude recovered more quickly than those with a negative or victim mindset. Happier people, basically, get sick less often and recover more quickly, which decreases healthcare expense.<br \/>\nMost human resources and finance professionals are familiar with the incredible numbers associated with nurturing wellness in their organizations. In organizations with a more positive workplace culture and higher trust levels, a higher percentage of employees take advantage of those wellness programs, which translates into reduced healthcare dollars, a virtuous cycle any CFO will love.<br \/>\n<strong>7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Turnover.<\/strong> People in a more positive workplace want to stick around longer. Period. I recently worked through the numbers for a client experiencing 50% turnover. They only have 50 employees (well-compensated professional staff) yet we found the cost of avoidable turnover exceeds $850,000 a year &#8212; what it&#8217;s costing that organization to lose people they want to keep BUT who are leaving because they feel unhappy, disconnected, and overly stressed.\u00a0<em>What\u2019s your number?\u00a0<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Absenteeism. <\/strong>Happy employees, again, are sick less often and for less time. That means they are on the job more.<br \/>\n<strong>9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Safety.<\/strong> Studies in manufacturing environments show strong correlation between positive workplace morale (a.k.a. happiness) and incidence of rule violations and workplace accidents. Happy employees care more and make fewer mistakes.<br \/>\n<strong>And a few new findings that are not on the above chart:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>10.\u00a0Morality\/ethics.<\/strong> A happier person finds it easier to think about the welfare of others and tends to cast a wider net of concern about the impact of their actions.\u00a0Now, think about any high profile corporate meltdown\/corruption story from recent history. Can you think of a single case where the description &#8220;dysfunctional&#8221; or highly stressed did not occur in the description of the workplace culture?<br \/>\n<strong>Do you ever hear about happy workplaces with high incidence of on the job harassment, ethics violations, or embezzlement? No. You do not.<\/strong>\u00a0And there is a reason why you do not. People don&#8217;t treat others poorly when they&#8217;re themselves happy!<br \/>\n<strong>11.\u00a0Acceptance of others\/non-judgmental.\u00a0<\/strong>When you look behind nearly every story of exclusion, discrimination, harassment, or systemic prejudice, you will find a story of scarcity and fear (e.g. \u201cThere&#8217;s not enough for all of us,\u201d it&#8217;s a zero-sum game). Happy people live more often in a story of abundance and gratitude, and find it easier to hold the possibility that everyone can benefit in some way from any potential solution.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #531083\"><strong>Happiness has Value; Unhappiness has a Cost<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Whether you are a CFO, a business owner, a steward of your corporate culture, a manager at any level, or a frontline employee who is interested in the success of your organization, <\/strong>notice that taking care of your happiness and paying attention to the happiness of those around you will benefit both you and your team.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #531083\"><strong>Remember, Leadership is not about a title; anyone can be a Leader <\/strong>who makes their own Happiness a priority so that when they come to work, they serve as a positive influence for others!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Be Happy.\u00a0Lead Well. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happiness is Noticed for its Absence\u2026 Picture this: I am sitting in a room with a leadership team who are frustrated with high levels of behavior often associated with employee disconnection: turnover, absenteeism, gossip, backbiting, lack of discretionary effort, cliquishness, zero input during meetings, constant griping about even the tiniest things, and a pervasive sense &#8230; <a title=\"Why Should Your Boss Care If You\u2019re Happy?\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/theexecutivehappinesscoach.com\/2017\/07\/why-should-your-boss-care-if-youre-happy\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Why Should Your Boss Care If You\u2019re Happy?\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5789,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[274,58,11],"tags":[30,141,222,150,473,60],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Why Should Your Boss Care If You\u2019re Happy? - The Executive Happiness Coach\u00ae<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theexecutivehappinesscoach.com\/2017\/07\/why-should-your-boss-care-if-youre-happy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Why Should Your Boss Care If You\u2019re Happy? - The Executive Happiness Coach\u00ae\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Happiness is Noticed for its Absence\u2026 Picture this: I am sitting in a room with a leadership team who are frustrated with high levels of behavior often associated with employee disconnection: turnover, absenteeism, gossip, backbiting, lack of discretionary effort, cliquishness, zero input during meetings, constant griping about even the tiniest things, and a pervasive sense ...
