Businesses are run by people. They build your business and earn a profit for the company –but let’s face it, even the best employees in the world can be unhappy and unproductive at times. Robots who display no emotions can get tired too if overused. Here are some components to a happy and productive workforce:

1. Employees are treated as people. Everyone is different in their own ways but everyone should be treated with respect, empathy, and decency. When your employees see that management displays kindness, it begins to trickle down to the employees who feel a sense of comfort in their work environment. This is one of the most important aspects in finding job satisfaction.

2. Employees have a sense of purpose. More than just getting their paycheck, employees need to feel that what they are doing is towards something good. Altruistic behaviors have been seen to have positive correlation towards a more happy workforce. If you have Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects, getting your employees involved will help them feel better about themselves and, in turn, be more productive at work.

3. Employees are given good compensation. Your employees have lives to live and mouths to feed too. They have to feel that they have competitive salaries and benefits on par or better than their counterparts. If your employees find out about better compensation elsewhere, they may feel discontent and try to apply at other companies. This is why, to retain employees, your compensation levels should be within the levels of what the market is doing. Do research on other industry competitors’ benefits and salary levels.

4. Employees are continuously learning. When you invest in your employees, they learn more, feel more fulfilled, and can apply what they learned at work. This makes them happy and more productive now. Employees will feel more valued when you help them improve their knowledge base and skills. If you build your people today, you help build a better future for your company.

5. Employees have a collaboration space. This is where they can discuss ideas and spend time with their co-workers. Having good work relationships will help ease a rigid work environment. This will help your employees feel happier.

Happiness is key to productivity. Taking care of your employees is taking care of your company.
