Job satisfaction and the bottom line - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Job satisfaction and the bottom line - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Gallup have a report from a study involving 200.000 emplyees from 36 different companies, that clearly links high job satisfaction with good financial results. Among other things the report shows that satisfied employees result in: * Much lower employee turnover rates * Higher customer loyalty * Higher sales * Higher profit margins This is great news for my Project Happiness at Work. And I would love to add something to this study. To me job satisfaction seems like a very limited ambition. I would personally never settle for being satisfied with my job. I do my best work and feel much better when Im deeply engaged, professionally challenged and experience constant personal development at work. So what would be the economic impact of a happy workforce, as opposed to one that is merely satisfied. I suspect the the gains could be enormous, but Ill be the first to admit that I have no hard data to support this personal belief. Do you know of any studies in this area? Drop me a comment.
