You want to be the place where people want to work. A positive company culture is more than people smiling, laughing and joking around, it is a place where your team feels comfortable working, where they are happy to hold their position and where there is low turnover.
Why do you need to invest in employee happiness? The reasons you should start are basic but can affect so much of your business. This is more than just free stuff or higher pay; many times happiness comes from unexpected places for your team.
Maybe you’ve heard the rumors about low salaries and high employee turnover rate, but let’s tell the truth: engaged, happy employees rarely leave. There are some instances where pay does affect your employees, but it is not the deciding factor for most. Being unhappy, unappreciated AND underpaid are the main reasons your team members will leave.
