Offer Meaning and Alignment
1
People want to feel like they are part
of something bigger than themselves –
whether it is the team, the company
or the community at large.
Source: Training Zone
Some employees actively search for
companies that have strong values and
give back to the society.
+
For many employees meaning is as simple
as a desire to be aligned with the
company goals and mission, and to feel
like a valued member of a team.
MISSION
STATEMENT
Companies who focus employees on the
meaning and purpose in their work have
had a 60% drop in absenteeism and a
75% reduction in turnover.

Provide Opportunities for Success
and Personal Growth
2
According to recent research by SHRM,
growth and professional development
is among the top demands of job
seekers in the U.S. labor force.
Source: SHRM
The leading causes of employee
dissatisfaction and turnover include
feelings of stagnation and a
disconnect in company goals.

ERIC MOSELY
CEO OF GLOBOFORCE
How to Use the Power of Social Recognition
to Transform Employee Performance
“Think about those intense work times when the team is all pulling
together and its total focus on creating something amazing
keeps team members working after midnight. A lot of those
happiness boxes are ticked off in those heroic times: feeling
like you’re progressing toward a goal, feeling optimistic; feeling
like you’re part of something bigger than the day-to-day work;
and feeling like you’re being supported and supporting others.
Those are legendary times at a company, and notice that people
are sustained through them, hour by hour, by the conviction
and affirmation that they are making progress toward the goal.
Happiness comes both from the end goal and making progress.”
Encourage Gratitude
3
Employees who give recognition and
rewards benefit as much or more from a
recognition moment than their colleagues.
Thanks!
Source: New York Times
73% of respondents credit recognition
for having a positive impact on their
happiness at work.
Great job!Thanks!
Source: Globoforce Spring 2014 Moodtracker
Giving people the opportunity to
express gratitude is also amazingly
good for health, productivity and
happiness at work.
Build Flexibility
4
Source: Career Bliss
RECOGNITION PROGRAM
Companies who see the biggest
jumps in employee happiness are those
who, among other things, emphasize
great work-life balance.
80% of employees saying they would be
happier with more flexible work options.
Of those workers who already have
flexibility at work, 90% said it eased the
burden of work-life balance.
Source: Georgetown University
Create Trust
5
One of the single biggest contributors to
employee happiness is creating a culture
of trust within your organization.
This means not only your workers’ trust in
leadership, but also in one another.
Enhancing trust and employee
commitment creates an environment
that fosters happy, committed,
productive team members.
Source: Harvard University
Make sure these five key components
are prospering in your organization, and
the dividend is sure to pay off in smiling
faces and better business results.
