Zen Doughboy Lab: Happiness+Culture - Catalysts for Business Growth
Happiness and culture are two of the underrated resources and catalysts of small businesses and major corporations. As a result, an estimated $500B is lost each year. In addition, there's a qualitative impact on business leaders, employees and their families.
According to Gallup, 70%+ of the workforce in the U.S. are disengaged or unhappy at work. The happiness and culture of an organization can be a competitive advantage or put you out of business. During this talk, you will be led through an experiential Happiness+Culture Lab to help you become more aware of your company culture and how to leverage it to increase productivity, employee engagement, and sales while decreasing turnover and absenteeism.
The happiness and culture of your business should be a priority like your financial statements. You'll leave with practical actions to take back with you to your business and use immediately. It's time to return humanity back to business.
