happy-worker-equals-healthy-company
From today's Washington Post. an article by Beth Baker states that the happy-worker-equals-healthy-company model seems to be paying off. A 15-year review of literature from the fields of psychology, business, medicine, public health, sociology and economics suggests a link between job satisfaction and lower absenteeism, lower turnover and higher performance. Companies with health-promotion programs showed an average of $3.50 savings for every dollar spent, as measured by reduced absenteeism and health-care costs.
