. Increasing happiness at work, and measuring its impact, has been the subject of numerousstudies across different cultures and industries. Research shows that it correlates with positiveoccupational outcomes. Specifically, happier employees exhibit higher levels of engagement,improved productivity, greater levels of career satisfaction, and a greater sense of well-being intheir lives [1] – [4]. Singh, Saxenda, and Mahendru find that there is no widely-agreed upon definition ofhappiness in the literature, but they describe it as “a harmonious state where the individual’sphysiological and psychological needs are satisfied in the past, present, and future, leading themto live a meaningful and contented life” [5].
