North Carolina’s southern pace and incredible diversity of lifestyles and interests make it hard to resist getting out of the office.

 

A recent Harvard Business Review article entitled “Positive Intelligence” cites:

"... an analysis of 225 academic studies, which found “strong evidence of directional causality between life satisfaction and successful business outcomes.” In other words, having happy employees is good for business. An there is no better way to keep employees happy than to provide a comfortable work life balance."

 

There are many ways to make and keep your employees happy. Studies suggest keeping them challenged at work is important. As Karsten Strauss of Forbes.com wrote, “Few employees want to do one specific task over and over again until they quit or retire or die.” Other things like bonuses and raises, perks, professional development opportunities, and team building activities may also contribute to having happy employees. But what goes on outside the walls of the office building is also important to employees.
