A happier team means a happier workplace, translates into happier customers and overall company growth.
Economists at the University of Warwick have found happiness increases productivity by around 12%. Yes, happy employees work harder and are more productive than their less cheerful counterparts.
Gallup found 70% of American workers were disengaged on the job, costing the economy an estimated $550 billion in lost productivity. The average worker is only staying in a job for about 4.4 years before hopping to a better opportunity.
In Tools Depot, we believe in happiness factors which keep people productive (including the bosses!) and help us retain our best employees. Like a country’s GDP, we have Tools Depot Happiness Index (TDHI) to track happiness.
“Our number one priority is company culture. Our whole belief is that if you get the culture right, most of the other stuff like delivering great customer service or building a long-term enduring brand will just happen naturally on its own.”
- Tony Hsieh, CEO @ Zappos
