More and more managers are placing importance on employee happiness. In America, too, a shift in values based on happiness is underway. As the importance of work style reform and health management is being emphasized, happiness management is attracting attention. Research is also progressing on happiness, employee creativity and productivity, as well as absenteeism and turnover rates. Results also show that happy employees are more likely to be attached to and immersed in their company and work. They are three times more creative and 30% more productive than unhappy employees. Even if economic growth is slow, if you maintain a rich mind, you can run a company with high creativity and productivity. Recently, there has also been a pursuit to get closer to the core of happiness. It is becoming common knowledge that happiness cannot be measured by having a lot of wealth or having a high status.
The conditions for happiness are being free of worries, having calm emotions, and being in a natural state of mind and body. On the other hand, there is also a theory that the elements of happiness also include elements of positivity and gratitude. Happy people seem to value their relationships with their families and use them as their driving force. In recent years, an environment that values this family seems to be gradually improving. One of them will be businesses. Furthermore, there is a growing momentum to promote this in schools as well. Of course, this movement can also be seen in advanced local governments.
Happiness and well-being are now being referred to in many different ways. There are a wide variety of them, but there is no fixed theory. However, we have come to understand the general outline to some extent. The conditions for happiness seem to include being free of worries, having calm emotions, and being in a natural state of mind and body. It's heartwarming to see a parent make a funny face and a baby naturally imitate it. When parents smile, babies smile back. Smiles are contagious. Happiness also seems to have a spreading quality. It is said that people who always remember to be grateful are less likely to become depressed, and less likely to feel anxious or lonely. It has been believed that humans make rational decisions. However, it seems that one person's reason alone cannot capture happiness. People who feel happy value their relationships with friends, colleagues, and family and seem to be driven by them. If you create these driving forces in your workplace, you will have a fun workplace. One of the driving forces behind this seems to be the existence of days when families can rest together.
