Creating Results in Real Time for You and Your Organization
Enhanced personal well-being has measurable impacts on organizational performance
A growing body of scientific research has shown that the well-being of an organization’s people has positive outcomes for the organization at large. Martin Seligman followed 15,000 insurance sales employees from Met Life. It turns out that optimistic sales agents sold up to 21% more in their first year compared to their pessimistic colleagues and up to 57% more in the second year. This study was replicated in various sales organizations and the same results were found. Optimistic sales employees outsell the pessimists by 20-40 percent. In addition, the optimistic sales agents were also less likely to quit after their first year. (Schulman, 1999)
And a recent Gallup study found that “Employees with high well-being are more resilient during widespread or personal tough times, are less likely to have unplanned days out of the office and have better performance than those with low well-being.”
This can translate to 50% lower employee turnover.
