New Research Linking Happiness and Productivity

1st November 2019 News

Today we’ve read an article by Robb Moss on Personnel Today reporting on the research just out linking happiness and wellbeing at work with productivity.

Research from the University of Oxford has found that happy workers are 13% more productive. The article explains that this doesn’t mean happy workers stay longer, but rather that they are more productive in their time.

Read the full article on Personnel Today.

We are delighted that these studies are coming out if it helps to convince employers that it’s in their interest to support the wellbeing and happiness of their staff. This is what we’ve been saying forever!

As we’ve been writing about, laughter and play are key ways of supporting organisations to invest in a positive wellbeing culture for employees, so we can help. Have a look at our Laughter at Lunchtime sessions or other workshops.

Contact us to find out how we can support the happiness and wellbeing and productivity of your employees.

What People Say

  • Thank you Jessica Shaw @ PACT for facilitating such an amazing experience. What a way to spend a morning with colleagues; LAUGHING, a lot. We all had a great time, feel less stressed and even closer as a team. I wish we’d done this sooner and I’m already being asked when you’re coming in again! Sharing this because I think the work you do is awesome and strongly recommend other teams/companies give it a go
