Almost half of the working people in the world are happy with their job. Factually, the more happy the employees are, the more is the turnover of that company. Such companies outperform stock markets and also have lessor employee turnovers. So what makes the employees happy? Following are the key factors:

1. Trust and Respect: Trust and empowerment of the workers lead to increased self-confidence and a sense of belonging to the organisation

2. Fairness: Workers should not be discriminated in any form, may it be gender, their respective positions in the organisational hierarchy or their background

3. Listen: As a basic human psychology, a good listener as always the antidote to a person's sorrow. So is the management;s task. Listening to worker problem and suggestions always leads them to job satisfaction.

4. Change: A change for better is a must.
