“Happy Employees are our best brand ambassadors”

Human evolution over the last few years has been greatly supported by accelerated advancements in technology. It is a widely accepted fact today that technology adoption and technical innovation is one of the most critical aspects for ‘Business Leadership’.

Technology on one hand eases business and productivity, but at the same time it puts pressure on the employees to up their learning curve and move with technology. Self motivation and HAPPINESS at workplace plays a major role to ensure success of employees at workplace. Read through the pages to find out how!

Happiness is a way of life. More often than not, Happiness is misunderstood as an “Outcome” , but rather it is a state of mind, it is a prerequisite for everyday life. Let’s take an example, Nowadays , a decision of visiting a doctor relies on the reviews posted, where the prime importance is the way the doctor interacts, soothes the patient and of course his credentials. Similarly, prospective employees chose their employers based on how happy existing employees are! It is that simple, employee reviews on platforms like Glassdoor enables companies to connect with and convince their prospective candidates to join them.

Gone are those days where an employer could lure talented candidates with perks and a high pay check. Numerous research studies, psychologists and business giants have proven that HAPPINESS at workplace is pivotal for a company to sustain and be scalable. It is more crucial than sales and profits for a growing company. To substantiate the effect of Happiness at workplace, a recent study by Warwick university on 700 participants concluded that happy people are 12% more productive than other employees. One of the research professor stated that “The driving force seems to be that happier workers use the time they have more effectively, increasing the pace at which they can work without sacrificing quality.”

Happiness for Digital Impressions –

As a technology and creative company, we believe that freedom of expression, encouraging creativity and instilling happiness at every stage of work are our key factors for success. We are a flat organization, and do not believe in assigning work, we are very transparent and I believe this is extremely important, as it will help the employees communicate/express without hesitation. We conducted a Happiness survey  encompassing questions on how HAPPINESS influences an employee in our organization, their thoughts on freedom of work, understanding their rapport with peers and such other questions. The results were truly inciting indeed.

 Glimpse of some responses from our Happy Employees

Majority of our workforce honestly love what they do, this motto is bringing them back to work each day with a smile and excitement. As mentioned earlier “Happiness is a state of mind” , our employees believe that “your thoughts reflect your quality of work”. Absolutely you walk into the office with a bright smile and a thought of being happy through the day, you pour the same thoughts in the work and create wonders! Respect time! Spending almost 9 hours of our precious time at a workplace can get frustrating. But that is not the case with our people, they believe this workplace is a platform to grow and they say that “with growth, there is innovation and this a breeding ground for more positive and refreshing perspectives.”

“A person’s greatest emotional need is to be appreciated!” That’s exactly what our employees feel too, they state “Praise and Recognition are important forms of reinforcement that make them feel more motivated”. I agree to this 100%, for me working here is a passion, I do my best because I am recognized and acknowledged for my contributions and I feel that’s a bare necessity for pushing oneself! The best part of working here is that Teamwork and Cross team interactions are strongly encouraged enabling each employee not being restricted to their area of expertise, the agenda here is not “do your work and leave”, we work as team in total.

We are proud of our workplace! The color Yellow, the color of brightness and possibilities; represents our company and reflects our motto of HAPPINESS! Our employees feel the environment here is so positive and fresh that they see a gamut of possibilities to grow here. Some noteworthy aspects of our work environment are, the ease at which we approach our seniors, the personal attention or recognition given by our company head and the easy going décor & ambiance with a background music. These factors keep us on our toes and bring in the urge to do more each time. The responses from our people is so overwhelming that it reinforces the thought that we are truly a HAPPY team.

Lastly, Employees’ happiness lies in the Employer’s attitude and competence! It’s no longer a cliché that happier employees are better employees. Our company head is a great mentor and keeps encouraging and pushing people to achieve more. He is a true guiding force and the entire workforce looks up to him. He is truly a leader who leads by example.

“I believe that being a great place to work is the difference between being a good company and a great company. When a company truly cares about its people, nurtures the culture, defines the purpose, creates a great environment and offers challenging work, great things happen. Striving to be a great place to work is not easy, but it’s definitely worth it.” — Brian Kristofek, president & CEO, Upshot
