The Happy Manifesto—Make Your Organization a Great Workplace

The American Dream tells us that if we work hard for our whole lives, we will eventually be successful and happy. However, it has now been proven that the correlation is actually reversed - happy employees work harder and are ultimately more successful. In a recession, happy and loyal employees are the best asset a company can have.

By encouraging and helping employees to be happy, a workplace becomes more productive. A truly productive organization is one where people are:
- energized and motivated by being in control of the work they do
- trusted and given freedom, within clear guidelines, to decide how to achieve their results
- able to get the life balance they want
- valued according to the work they do, rather than the number of hours they spend at their desk

Packed with examples and practical advice, The Happy Manifesto is a useful guide for managers who want to better their organization's environment by making it a happier, more engaging place to work.
