Can employee happiness be the key to unlocking peak productivity? 


For years, organisations have invested heavily in employee engagement, recognising its impact on performance and retention. Research also suggests that employee engagement alone isn’t enough. Yet many organisations still overlook it or struggle to measure it effectively. 


In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green is joined by Shon Holyfield, Founder and CEO of Amazing Workplace, to explore why happiness should be measured alongside engagement—and how doing so can transform business outcomes. 


Join them as they explore:  


  • The difference between engagement and happiness, and why both matter for business success 
  • The key indicators of employee happiness and how they impact performance 
  • Why traditional engagement surveys may not capture the full picture of employee well-being 
  • How a more dynamic, real-time approach to measuring happiness can drive better business outcomes 
  • The role of transparency in happiness scores 
  • How to balance privacy, authenticity and psychological safety when collecting employee insights 


Listen now to learn how you can measure and improve employee happiness to unlock greater productivity, engagement, and business success.
