Across the economy
Every sector contains high Happiness Impact
Sector averages differ — but the variation within sectors is often greater than the differences between them. Each dot is one organization; the gold line marks the sector average.
The four dimensions
How the contributions are experienced
Across all 12,416 evaluations, organizations receive positive average scores on all four wellbeing dimensions — strongest for good life, followed by happiness, rich life and meaning.
Why it matters for organizations
Higher Happiness Impact, stronger customer relationships
A two-point increase in Happiness Impact is associated with sizeable increases in three customer outcomes (percentage points; all statistically significant, p < .001). The findings are associations rather than causal effects.
