Happy employees are loyal\u00a0employees, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/shawn-murphy\/this-is-the-secret-sauce-for-happy-employees.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">loyal employees can do<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0amazing things. This is one of the keys to success for such industry leaders as Google, Apple, and software analytics giant SAS Institute. Here are ten key reasons why creating a workplace and an office environment that people love is critical for your business:<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Happiness_has_a_multiplying_effect\"><\/span>1. Happiness has a multiplying effect<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Happiness is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/minda-zetlin\/5-simple-steps-that-create-a-happy-workplace-.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contagious and, when encouraged<\/a><\/strong>, can spread throughout an entire company. Employees who take joy in their work make excellent role models for their fellow workers and encourage them to also take joy in their work.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Happy_employees_are_successful_employees\"><\/span>2. Happy employees are successful employees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Employees who genuinely enjoy their work are more productive, happier, and more successful. This increases self-confidence and inspires greater performance and greater success for both employee and employer.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Happy_employees_have_the_right_attitude\"><\/span>3.

Happy employees, on the other hand, have a positive can-do attitude that allows them to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Reducing_stress_increases_productivity\"><\/span>4. Reducing stress increases productivity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Stressed-out employees are distracted employees. This can have a devastating effect on productivity. Eliminating stress and worry can lead to an instant productivity boost.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_A_positive_work_environment_encourages_risk-taking\"><\/span>5. A positive work environment encourages risk-taking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Business is not about playing it safe.

Happy employees support each other<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Positive, fully engaged employees are more willing to support fellow workers and to provide positive support and encouragement for group projects. And happy employees are more likely to ask for support if it is needed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Happy_employees_are_not_afraid_to_make_mistakes\"><\/span>7. Happy employees are not afraid to make mistakes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A supportive work environment encourages your team to learn from their mistakes rather than fear them.
