WELL-BEING Food for thought: Well-being and life satisfaction of the employees can directly affect key organizational outcomes like productivity. The well-being of the employees is essential in order for them to be able to be effective and adapt to the changing demands of work and life. For an organization/business, happier employees means higher productivity and a greater sense of commitment. (Shilpy Kashyapa, Sanskrity Josephb, and G. K. Deshmukhc, 2016) People who achieve good standards of well-being at work are likely to be more creative, more loyal, more productive, and provide better customer satisfaction than individuals with poor standards of well-being at work. (Karen Jeffrey, Sorcha Mahony, Juliet Michaelson and Saamah Abdallah, 2014)
