Listen "Ep 693: Are We Getting Happier At Work?"
Episode Synopsis
Research consistently shows that happy employees are more engaged, more productive, and stay with their companies longer. While many organizations recognize this connection, they often lack the data and insights needed to make meaningful improvements in their workplace culture. With different generations having different expectations from work and regional variations in what contributes to happiness, reliable metrics are essential for making the right decisions.
So, how can employers better understand workplace happiness and use this data to attract and retain talent?
My guest this week is Matt Ward, Head of Recruitment Services at WorkL. For their latest research report, WorkL surveyed 400,000 employees in 26 industries across 100 countries on the key drivers of workplace happiness. The results give us some fantastic insights that can help make talent acquisition and retention strategies significantly more effective.
In the interview, we discuss:
The findings from WorkL's latest workplace happiness report
The six key elements that contribute to workplace happiness
Why workplace happiness is rising globally
Variations across generations and genders
What is driving flight risk?
The continued importance of flexibility at work
How can Talent Acquisition teams leverage happiness data for competitive talent advantage?
What does the future look like?
