8 good ideas to make your employees happy

Productivity is essential for a company, but the search of a better productivity shouldn’t affect the employees. In fact, if a worker is overworked, or have bad work conditions, he won’t be happy, and will be less productive. This can even lead to a burn-out, which is really bad for both company and employee. “to be happy, a person need to be good, in his personnal life as in his professional life”, tells Jacques Forest, professor at Ecole Superieure de Gestion (ESG) of UQAM, psychologist and human resources expert (CRHA). In addition, in the current context of shortage of manpower, a good quality of life at work is a good argument to convince people to work for you or to stay in the company.

For this purpose, here are some advices, easy to make to empower the well-being of your employees in they work environment:

• Gift cards

To reward the end of a big project, or extra hours.

• A stimulating environment

You don’t necessarly need to put a babyfoot, but it is always more pleasant to work in a nice and modern space, with spaces of living where people can meet.

• Take the transportation fees in charge

It is a good hiring argument, and an action always appreciated by the employees.

• Organize some 5 to 7

It is difficult to really know your colleagues. A 5 to 7 is a good way to meet them in another context than work. It can lead to a better working atmosphere.

• Sport or cultural events

It can enforce the cohesion between colleagues and allows the different services to meet.

• flexible hours and teleworking

Our productivity is maximised when we work at our own speed, this is why teleworking, for example one day a week, can be a good idea. It allows the workers to avoid transportation desagrements and some stress.

• Work training

Offer some training to your employees can make them stay in your company because they feel valuable and gain new competences that can maximise their productivity.

• Offer the meal

You can offer a meal to your employees, for example, one day a week so they can eat together, when they have a big project, or meetings that require overtime.
