It's official - happier workers do result in stronger business performance

It seems intuitive that a happier, more engaged workforce will result in a more effective workplace – and now we have stats to prove it.

A satisfied workforce does result in greater business performance, according to a study from University of East Anglia’s Norwich Business School.

The research, ‘Employee Satisfaction and Corporate Performance in the UK’, analysed 35,231 employee ratings from Glassdoor for 164 large UK companies between 2014-2017.

Firms rated higher on the review site by their current employees in terms of satisfaction were found to achieve superior profitability compared to those rated lower, even when other factors are considered.
