A happy employee is a productive employee

While companies have long been focused on satisfying customers, many are finally coming around to the idea that happy workers are just as important as happy customers. Happy employees are more productive and engaged in their jobs. Workplace happiness also improves employee retention. And because happy employees result in happy customers, companies can achieve their goals of satisfying customers by focusing on improving the employee experience in the workplace.

For businesses that accept the fact that a happy employee is a productive employee, the question is how to promote employee happiness. While there are some obvious answers, the real key to promoting happiness in the workplace is to listen. Every conversation between employees and colleagues, customers, and departments within the organization can reveal critical insights into what it takes to keep employees happy – and what might drive them away.

For enterprises seeking solutions for effectively listening to employees and analyzing their feedback, CallMiner offers leading conversation intelligence software that can capture and analyze every employee interaction.
