Do you believe that happiness at work truly matters? Many organizations are now recognizing the importance of well-being and engagement, but what about ensuring that your employees are genuinely happy? If you're an HR professional, I want you to treat this episode as your annual retreat, a moment to pause and reflect on the essence of creating a happy workplace.
Joining me this week is Sriram, an HR Professional and workplace happiness expert who focuses on making workplaces happier and more human-centric.
In this episode, Sriram emphasizes the need for organizations to shift their focus to the feelings of employees by adopting Human First metrics and strategies. This involves demonstrating core human virtues such as gratitude, appreciation, and compassion. Sriram offers a Human Centricity Audit to help identify areas for investment and implement behaviour change within organizations.
We also delve into why happiness at work matters and how it impacts output, productivity, and profitability. Sriram makes a compelling case for organizations to prioritize emotions and feelings in the workplace as a strategic imperative.
