This
is the question your employees answer every day as they move through their
duties. Their answer has a surprising impact on their performance. In general,
when employees are happy about their work environment, they are more
productive. Employees choose how much extra time and effort they will spend on
work after fulfilling their minimum performance expectations. When companies
foster engaging environments where workers feel connected to their work and
co-workers, employees will put in more effort to produce outstanding work. As
such, creating a feeling of community among workers is key to increasing
employee engagement and productivity.
