The business and societal case for happiness with Oxford professor
Manage episode 489880538 series 3125064
What if the most powerful metric for your business, and indeed society, isn't what you think?
This week, we're honoured to host Professor Jan-Emmanuel De Neve – a leading authority in economics and behavioural science from the University of Oxford. As the driving force behind Oxford's Wellbeing Research Centre and a key figure in the World Happiness Report, Jan brings unparalleled expertise to the table.
He’s the kind of mind that makes you see the universe differently, but through the lens of human well-being.
We dive into the evidence. From a major BT study, we show how employee happiness isn't just nice, it drives 12% higher sales, even 20-25% on complex tasks. This translates directly to your bottom line and stock performance.
But it’s bigger than business. Jan unveils the global push beyond GDP, advocating for a single, powerful metric for national well-being. Imagine leaders competing on national happiness, not just economics.
This is a crucial listen for HR leaders. Discover the data, the science, and the sheer power of prioritising your people. This is The Business and Societal Imperative of Happiness.
