Employee well-being has come into enhanced focus now, post pandemic. But ironically, research findings over the last several decades has clearly established, that not only is employee well-being a nice-to-have, it has Business Benefits too !

Research has indeed found this to be true !
Positive Psychology is a fairly recent research field that focuses on how certain positive traits and states of individuals contributes to their mental and physical well-being, motivation, performance, and success !
Positive Psychological Capital is an important concept here, and it is defined as the positive and developmental state of an individual, as characterised by 4 factors, or components … high Self-Efficacy, Resiliency, Hope and Optimism.
Given today’s dynamic and unpredictable environment, organisations need a lot more options for competitive advantage. Traditional resources and capital like Economic and Financial Capital, Advanced Technology, Innovation etc, are not sufficient.
But, surveys and studies have repeatedly revealed, that most organisations today, are not realising the full potential of their employees, thereby losing out big time !
Ironically, Research also reveals, that the most employee productivity, performance, and innovation, comes from employees who work in a positive organisational environment. Focusing and developing positive organisational behaviour, and positive psychological capital, whether as an individual, team or organisation, can have a huge impact on employee and leadership performance, job satisfaction, work happiness, organisational commitment, as well as mental and physical well-being.
