It’s no secret that we’re enthusiastic about joyful workplaces at Purple Ink – our founder, JoDee, even wrote a book called JoyPowered™ about them! Of course, not being miserable at work is always a positive, but having a joyful workplace isn’t just good for the employees; employers benefit, too.

Why Employees Need JoyPowered™ Workspaces

No one wants to be unhappy. But did you know that being engaged (or disengaged) at work can affect more than your mood? Here’s how:

• People who are constantly unhappy at the office can have lowered immune systems
• People who are dissatisfied with their workplace have more problems in their relationships
• People who are happier live longer
• Joyful people are more likely to get promotions
• People who are more joyful get better evaluations and higher pay
• Having a positive attitude makes people more likely to succeed when faced with a stressful task

Why Employers Need JoyPowered™ Workspaces

Helping your employees be happier at work isn’t just good for them – you’ll get some perks too. Here are some of them:

• Joyful employees are 12% more productive than others
• People who are feeling positive are more creative and better problem-solvers
• Companies with engaged employees have higher levels of customer happiness
• Unhappy employees will leave to find another opportunity that will make them happier
• Employees that are feeling positive are better at organizing information and doing complex analysis
• Joyful employees are more tolerant of coworkers’ mistakes and make others around them happier

So if a joyful workplace has all these benefits, what are you waiting for? Take some action to make your team JoyPowered™!
