Companies with happier employees outperform their peers - Fortune via Yahoo – “Corporate America is changing.

Instead of putting shareholders’ interest alone first, its members have agreed to prioritize the interest of various stakeholders, such as employees. So how does doubling down on employees affect the bottom line? Pretty well, according to our research. Fortuneteamed up with Thrive Global, SAP SuccessFactors, and Qualtrics to build the Thrive XM Index*, a ranking of companies with the best employee well being.
To create the index, we surveyed a sample of more than 20,000 full-time U.S. employees from over 900 companies. We asked them about everything: work-life balance, career advancement, mental health, company policies.

Then they looked at the highest-ranked companies on the index to see if their better employee experiences translated into better financial results.
