Happiness Habits That Will Make You Thrive At Work<\/h2>\n

Numerous studies show that job stress places a significant weight on most working adults. In Great Britain, the recent labour report stated that in 2014\/15, stress accounted for 35% of all work related ill health cases and 43% of all working days lost due to ill health. In 2012, there were 10.4 million days lost to stress, with the cost of \u2018sick\u2019 days totalling\u00a0\"jennifer-moss\"almost \u00a36.5 billion. According to the\u00a0American Institute of Stress<\/a>(AIS), stress carries a hefty price tag for American employers. The annual cost to the industry was an estimated $300 billion as result of accidents, absenteeism, turnover, reduced productivity and direct medical, legal, and insurance costs.<\/p>\n

This is certainly cause for concern. Rest assured \u2013 there are ways we can mitigate the increasing negative impacts of\u00a0stress in our workplace<\/a>. Surprisingly, it might be easier than we think. Researchers from the University of Warwick in the UK\u00a0found<\/a>\u00a0that people who are happy at work are about 12% more productive. Shawn Anchor, author of\u00a0The Happiness Advantage<\/a><\/em>, has\u00a0quantified the benefits<\/a>\u00a0of a happy company \u2013 sales increase by 37%, productivity 31%, and accuracy on tasks improves by 19%. And, of course, there\u2019s the overall win of feeling happier as an individual and collectively within a high-performing culture.<\/p>\n
