A bit of investigative work on my part revealed nothing reported (besides the “news” on Facebook) so I was hopeful it was just a rumor.

What makes employees happy? Is it a six-figure salary and a great company match on their retirement plan? Sure, those things can help, but for employees who get sideways glances from co-workers every time they leave before 6 p.m., report to a boss who constantly breathes down their neck, or feel stymied by having to wear a full suit every single day, not even a big paycheck will keep them at that job—at least not for long.

Today, it encompasses both business processes and cultural mindsets, but also the actual way of doing things within a given company. A customer-centric approach has been proven to add value to a company, as a cultural and branding element but also as a business differentiator.

If so, what specific actions can they take to make the employee happier? If not, do you think that employees are the only ones who can make themselves happy?
