In our recent You're MarketingKind gathering with Nic Marks, author of Happiness is a Serious Business, founder of Friday Pulse and creator of the Happy Planet Index, we explored how to build happy teams and why they drive greater productivity, creativity and success at work.
Nic shared that happy teams are twice as likely to be successful as successful teams are to be happy, a powerful reminder that wellbeing is not a “nice to have”, but a serious driver of business performance.
Our discussion covered:
The hidden costs of stress, boredom and loneliness at work
Why “okay” may be the most expensive word in business
How leaders can create the conditions for happier and more effective teams
Nic shared his Five Ways, which are practical actions every organisation can apply to build happier teams:
Connect
Be Fair
Empower
Challenge
Inspire
