7+ Science-Based Things Every Boss Needs To Know About Happiness At Work [Infographic]

November 18, 2014 By Editor

Being happy at work isn’t just about work. People that are satisfied with their lives all around are more likely to be happy at work. And productivity is positively influenced by good moods, with happy workers being 31% more productive than unhappy ones, according to an infographic from Happify, a company that uses science and technology to empower people to lead happier lives.

This information is nothing new, but we always need a little nudge every now and then to remind us to review, reflect, and improve our workplace practices to ensure we’re setting our employees and our companies up for success. [Read more…]

5 Reasons Why Top Talent Leave Their Jobs [Infographic]

November 21, 2011 By Lindsey Perkins Wade

After working hard and putting in countless hours to find and develop superstar employees, the last thing you want to do is lose them.

Sometimes the circumstances are beyond your control (and theirs). That’s life. But there are things that you can control—for example, how you treat your employees and what kind of work environment you create.

The Center for Management & Organization Effectiveness (CMOE) compiled five reasons why top talent decide to leave their jobs based on various studies from Florida State University, Randstad, and Accenture/ICR.

Not surprising, the studies’ results had one commonality: People often leave their bosses or companies, not their jobs. [Read more…]

What Employees Do When They’re Wasting Time At Work [INFOGRAPHIC]

October 5, 2011 By Lindsey Perkins Wade

We’ve explored many facets of productivity lately—tips for middle-market business owners, ways to boost productivity in the home office, what bosses do to bring down productivity, how a work-life balance increases it—but we haven’t explored what employees actually do when they are being unproductive.

I ran across an infographic packed with interesting statistics about just that—what employees do when they’re wasting company time. For instance, the infographic says 40 percent of estimated productivity loss is from nonwork-related Internet surfing, and 31.2 percent of workers feel that it is appropriate to surf nonwork-related sites at the office.

Why You Can’t Ignore SEO (Search Engine Optimization) [INFOGRAPHIC]

August 19, 2011 By Lindsey Perkins Wade

Maybe you’ve heard the term SEO but have no idea what it is. Possibly you know it stands for search engine optimization but are still in the dark about its meaning. You’re not alone.

According to a survey done in 2009, just under half of small business owners had websites, but I’m willing to bet that the number has risen during the past two years. If you are one of those businesses with a website, hopefully your web design firm has educated you on the importance of creating a site that is search engine-friendly. [Read more…]

How LinkedIn Users Interact With the Social Networking Site [INFOGRAPHIC]

August 8, 2011 By Lindsey Perkins Wade

There’s no doubt that LinkedIn is popular. The social networking site hit 100 million members in March and is continuing to grow. LinkedIn allows users to create an online resume complete with references, but perhaps the most valuable resource is the network you can create on the site. The service gives you the ability to see if anyone you know is connected to someone that you want to know, potentially turning a cold call into a referral.

Recently Lab 42 conducted a survey about how LinkedIn users interact with the site and created an infographic with the results. Besides visit frequency and how often people update their profiles, Lab 42 asked the key questions: What do you use LinkedIn for the most and why is LinkedIn useful? [Read more…]
