This paper develops a model that shows how companies can inspire happiness in their employees, and the productive outcomes that will result from that focus on happiness. JetBlue Airways, Warby Parker, and Southwest Airlines are three companies that have been successful in inspiring happiness in their employees, and they have experienced the productive outcomes resulting from those happy employees. The essence of this paper is showing how happiness isn't an unattainable concept for businesses, but rather, when emphasized, it can lead to more productive outcomes and employees.HappinessBusinessManagement
