Your place of employment or your work influences your happiness, and ultimately your health. As we all know, part of Six Sigma is unity or teamwork in the process.
Working towards a mutual goal and obtaining it will contribute to your overall work satisfaction, and ultimately happiness.
Employers Take Heed: Your Employee’s Happiness Is Your Business
A happy work environment:
- Has fewer absentees
- Less employee turnover
- Establishes company loyalty
- Increases productivity up to 31% higher
We speak about happiness and we know when we feel it, yet we can’t define happiness. We can use the metaphor of a cat’s purr — we know when it happens, but we don’t know what exactly makes a cat purr or what causes it. But at best we can all agree, different things can bring on the feeling of what we call happiness.
Even with all of the technological advances we have made, we aren’t any closer to predicting a person’s mindset, which would tell us a person’s happiness level. Ultimately all human beings like being affirmed at a job that they will have worked approximately 100,000 hours of their lifetime.
As many of you know, in Six Sigma every role and the deployment of those roles are important in their own right. So, increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of said business is the overall reason for implementing Six Sigma.
Every team member (employee) is uniquely responsible for the success of the company. Information is shared with other team members so everyone is part of the ongoing communications and are on the same page. This standard of communication is kept up throughout the entire company.
As a result, if every company that existed held Six Sigma standards and kept this united front, company loyalty would be at an all time high. In addition, stress levels would be at an all time low!
