Joy increases productivity 31%, sales 37% and reduces burnout 125% and is the antidote to our mental health crisis. There are many aspects of Joy that can transform mindsets – and hearts. Creating joyful cultures, joyful people and actually focusing on joy as a business strategy works!
The antidote to burnout is joy.”
