Green employees are happier employees

If your employees aren’t happy, you’re not alone (and neither are they). According to a recent report from CareerBuilder.com, 78 percent of workers feel burned out on the job.

Forty-six percent feel their workload has increased in the past six months, and 45 percent describe that workload as “heavy” or “too heavy.”

Twenty-three percent are dissatisfied with their current work/life balance.

You can help change these depressing stats, however, by joining the growing wave of companies that offer flexible work arrangements. Telecommuting or four day workweeks provide benefits in addition to happier, more productive employees; with fewer workers driving to the office less frequently, you’ll reduce your company’s overall carbon footprint.
