 SALES: 

— Martin Seligman, Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania, discovered through research for his book, Learned Optimism, that a happier, more positive sales team can lead to an increase in sales by 37%.

RETENTION: 

— In 2016, the Society for Human Resource Management [SHRM] survey uncovered the average cost-per-hire for companies is $4,129.

— According to Gallup, employees who are engaged are 59% less likely to look for a job with a different organization in the next 12 months., Gallup Panel Web Study using Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index

PRODUCTIVITY: 

— In a 2015 Harvard study, it was determined that workers in the top 1% in terms of productivity add about $5,000 to profit per year, while a toxic worker costs about $12,000 per year.

— In Gallup’s 2016 Q12® Meta-Analysis Report: Ninth Edition,  it was learned that higher levels of employee engagement could lead to a 21% increase in productivity.
