Happy Employees Are More Productive

When employees are happy, good things happen

Improve workplace happiness and employee productivity with conversation intelligence solutions on the CallMiner Eureka platform.

Happy employees are more productive, committed, and effective

A happy employee is a productive employee.” While most companies understand this adage in principle, few have adopted the technology and solutions to truly excel at what makes employees happy. Some contributors to workplace happiness are universal – most employees want to feel that they are appreciated, that their jobs are secure, that they have room to grow, and that they have opportunities to succeed. But the most important thing a company can do to create happy employees who are more productive is to actually listen to what employees want.

Surveys and conversations with managers can reveal a certain amount of insight. But mounting an effective employee experience management initiative requires a more thorough approach. Companies must hear from every employee and review both solicited and unsolicited feedback to get an accurate picture of employees’ wants, needs, and motivations.

CallMiner can help. The CallMiner Eureka conversation intelligence platform enables companies to capture and analyze 100% of employee interactions – both voice and text-based – to reveal insights into how to support happy employees who are more productive and engaged.

Why are happy employees more productive?

As reported by SnackNation, there are many benefits to having happy workers in the workplace.

• Companies with happy workers outperform the competition by 20%.

• Happy employees are more productive by 12%.

• Happier salespeople produce 37% greater sales.

• Employees with a best friend at work are 7x more likely to engage fully in their work.

• Employees who report being happy at work take 10x fewer sick days than unhappy employees.

On the flipside, research shows that 79% of people who left their job did so because they didn’t feel appreciated at work.

Additionally, happy employees mean happy customers, since employees who are satisfied with their job and engaged in their work are far more likely to deliver exceptional customer experiences.

The key to creating happy employees who are more productive and intent on remaining in their jobs is to develop insight into employees’ feelings about their experiences, workplace culture, job satisfaction, and overall sentiment about their work. That’s where CallMiner can offer tremendous value.
