Unparallelled productivity levels lie beyond machinery, systems, or processes—it resides in the very heart of your company’s culture. Our article, “Four Ways to Drive Productivity Improvement Through Better Company Culture,” reveals the crucial link between a positive workplace and significant productivity gains, with evidence showing up to a 31% increase when employees are happy in their jobs.
