Happiness at work: why it counts - THE GUARDIAN

The absence of wellbeing in the workplace is costly. In the government's recent Foresight Programme study on mental capital and wellbeing, it was estimated that sickness absence, presenteeism (being present at work but contributing little added value to the business) and labour turnover cost the country about £26bn a year.

Incidences of stress-related sickness absence have also risen, replacing backache as the main source of work illness, with 40% of incapacity benefits (the biggest source) attributed to mental ill health and stress. Indeed, the 2009 Boorman review for the NHS into health and wellbeing indicated savings of over £555m could be made from reduced sickness absence if healthier work environments were created.

The top motivator is "respect" – how valued and trusted by their organisation
employees feel. Then comes (in order of priority) "type of work", "providing good service to customers", "the people you work with" and finally, good "work-life balance". Only after these does pay come into the equation. Given the recent controversies over bankers' pay, it's interesting that "bonuses" come bottom of the list.

  1. Isso é para país desenvolvido e não para quem tem mentalidade pequena e ditatorial como muitos que conhecemos!
    Pena, né?
    Mas isso vai mudar. Melhor, NÓS vamos mudar isso!

  2. O bom atendimento e o resultado de bom trabalho Não importa de maneira nenhuma ao Governo. Isso não afeta o salário "deles". Como já foi dito por diplomatas: Quem não está contente que se mude. Portanto não dá para comparar, principalmemnte quando se trata de paises desenvolvidos com uma mentalidade Não escravocrata.
