Google reveals secret to workplace success

Google is well-versed in transforming productivity, constantly looking to regenerate their business model and boost their employee’s satisfaction levels.

So it should come as no surprise that the tech giant has spent the last four years analysing every scrap of data they have on staff morale, in order to uncover the secret to their success.

Laszlo Bock, SVP of People Operations at Google, explained in an interview with CBS what he hoped the data would tell him: “We try to bring as much analytics and data and science to what we do on the people side as our engineers do on the product side.”

Bock found that if a manager greets a new employee on their first day, that recruit is likely to be up to 15% more productive in nine months’ time.
