A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

5 Little Things That Will Make a Big Difference to Your Employees’ Happiness and Productivity

According to the world economic forum, happy employees work faster, make more business-related calls per day, and are up to 13% more productive than unhappy workers. That is why it is critical to have a happy team regardless of your industry.

However, if you are like most new business owners, you may be worried that it takes quite a lot to keep your employees happy and productive. The truth is, like in everyday life, it is the little things that make the most significant difference.

Here are five things you can do to increase your employee’s happiness and, ultimately, their productivity.

1. Provide your employees with crucial documents

Giving your employees a sense of belonging is one the easiest ways to make them happy and boost their morale. This is best achieved by providing them with crucial documents such as employee contracts, pay stubs, and others that indicate their terms of employment and other critical company information.

Paystubs, in particular, help your employees get adequate proof of employment and earnings. If you are looking for an easy way to generate stubs for your employees, this online paystub generator can help you create and process pay stubs fast and efficiently.

2. Give your employees a sense of autonomy.

Many employers assume that an employee’s happiness is solely tied to good enumeration. However, studies show that employees dislike micromanagement.

Allowing your employees some level of autonomy can help you achieve better results at a much lower cost. After all, you hired them because you believed that they qualified for the job, so it would be best to let them do it and only offer direction when necessary.

Giving your employees the freedom to work under minimal supervision communicates your trust and can motivate them to achieve more.

3. Create a supportive work culture

Most workers prefer working in small teams because they are a great source of personal and professional support.

Although it is not always possible to have small groups, you can ensure that you create a supportive working culture irrespective of the size of your team. Supportive working cultures ensure that everyone feels valued and can share their knowledge, ideas, or even personal problems without fear.

4. Celebrate the little things

Employees’ motivation is often tied to job satisfaction and appreciation. That is why you need to eliminate any possible source of dissatisfaction among your workers.

Offering compliments, for instance, is one of the most effective ways of motivating your workers and boosting their morale. It would be best if you didn’t wait until an employee makes a groundbreaking achievement before you give a compliment.

Remember, it is the small achievements that contribute towards achieving your goal. That small “thank you” for beating the deadline on a task or a “good job” for outstanding work can make a big difference in your employee’s morale.

You could also consider a reward scheme for exemplary performance.

5. Continuous development

Employees can feel bored or stagnant when they remain in one position for a long time.

That is why you need to have your current employees trained for new positions whenever they arise instead of looking for new hires to fill in the job. Doing this ensures that they develop personally and professionally.

Besides, investing in your employee’s development communicates that you care about their well-being which is an excellent morale booster.

If you haven’t been paying attention to any of the things highlighted above, now is the time. More importantly, make sure that your employees are paid their worth to ensure they are highly motivated for maximum productivity.
