| 1. Stress costs 7x more than bad customer service |
| Stress is the nation's most underestimated business expense—it costs American businesses $300 billion every single year. To put that number in perspective, it's over seven times more expensive than the cost of bad customer service. |
| 2. Air conditioning can cause loneliness |
| Studies show that being physically cold can lead to increased feelings of isolation, without the individual being aware of this connection. Meanwhile, a burst of physical warmth has the power to reduce feelings of rejection. |
| 3. Hourly employees are happier than salaried ones |
| Researchers theorize this discrepancy might be due to hourly workers' focus on the concrete "worth" of their time each paycheck. |
| 4. A noisy office can trigger survival hormones |
| Even though some people claim to enjoy a workplace that's abuzz with activity, a study reveals that loud workplaces raise levels of adrenaline, whether or not employees report being bothered by the noise. Prolonged exposure can negatively affect employee motivation and health. |
| 5. The #1 reason employees leave isn't money or a promotion |
| Although many workers decide to leave their jobs for a growth opportunity or a higher salary, a study of more than 10,000 employees revealed that their primary reason for leaving was actually to escape work-related stress. |
