The opinions of the employees of Entrepreneur they are personal.
While it is true that the pandemic has cut back opportunities for many, it must be recognized that it has also given them the opportunity to start doing things differently and to deeply appreciate the most important asset each company has – its employees.
We should never forget that a company is due to the commitment, work and talent of those who enable the various processes of the organization to become a reality.
The pursuit of employee welfare was an expectation for many. Today, companies realize it is a “duty” as generating structures that promote employee happiness and wellbeing brings infinite benefits to any organization.
If a company maintains its strengths and never stops implementing good practices to achieve the happiness and wellbeing of its employees, it will instill confidence, positive emotions and commitment in them. Let us remember Kim Cameron’s heliotropic effect, where he explains it clearly: by nature all living things tend towards the light, towards a positive energy; and get away from the dark, negative energy.
What people need to thrive is precisely that light, which is the most important ingredient that any organization needs for its successful growth, to maintain its garden of beautiful living flowers.
But it’s not only that, the profiles of the employees also influence the environment or the climate at work. We should pay maximum attention that they have established values such as empathy, compassion, honesty, tolerance, loyalty, among others. These soft skills will form an organization that alone, without planning, will help humanity.
In this life we have often heard the phrase “You must lead by example,” and it is true! If an organization has leaders who generate optimism, positive emotions, and ideas to contribute, not fulfill, in their work team, they will be more successful in their duties or tasks.
Optimism has been shown to lead to better learning and performance. The reason is that if you believe or think you will do well, you will try harder.

At Duke University, a few economists have proven that optimistic people work longer hours, are more persistent, and ultimately make more money.
It should be understood that it is the responsibility of all leaders of the organizations to pay attention to the psychosocial component of the behavior of the people that make it up, as the well-being of the organization is directly related to economic outcomes, conflict management, customer satisfaction and achieving organizational efficiency.
Organizational wellbeing
A company that demonstrates organizational well-being has significant competitive advantages, for example:
+ 300% Innovation -44% Diseases
+ 44% turnover -51% turnover
+ 31% productivity -125% burnout
+ 37% retention
But not only that, having a healthy and harmonious work environment allows business processes to flow, goals to be achieved in the shortest possible time and in the best way, the company’s reputation benefits because when the employee is committed to feels the same, he will tell his family.
To achieve organizational success, it is imperative to implement a happiness and well-being strategy for the organization that helps align the business with strategic goals and HR initiatives. Let’s not forget that wellbeing is a personal and collective responsibility for continuous improvement in organizations.
