"This practical toolkit unpacks the value of happiness as a driver of commercial success in convincing style."
Practical and persuasive, with the potential to transform employment culture, Mark Price’s Happy Economics sets out to show why happiness matters in the workplace, how it drives commercial performance, how to make it happen, and how it might be maintained.
First comes a deep dive into how happiness might be measured. Enter the Extra Discretionary Effort (EDE) Calculator — a six-factor assessment of reward and recognition, information sharing, empowerment, well-being, sense of pride, and job satisfaction.
Each of the six factors are then dissected in detail, with case studies demonstrating the value of each, and how to put them into practice.
Rooted in personal experience, from Price’s days as a graduate trainee with John Lewis, which instilled the value of workplace happiness from day one, through to advising government, it posits a fascinating, refreshing approach that holds considerable sway.
