After this, participants were asked a series of questions to ensure the experiences had made them happy, before being asked to complete various tasks to measure their productivity levels.

The study found that happiness increased productivity by an average of 12% with the highest increase being 20%. O’Connor Marketing discovered that their own experiences reflect the results of the study, reporting that O’Connor Marketing discovered that their own experiences reflect the results of the study, reporting that focusing on improving morale among their workforce has led to better performance and higher productivity. .

As a result, O’Connor Marketing has voiced their commitment to spreading happiness throughout their organisation through specially organised activities and incentives. This has seen the firm take part in a wide range of fun days out designed to push their professionals outside their comfort zones. Most recently the company has taken a helicopter ride over Sydney and challenged themselves to the Wild Ropes Course at Taronga Zoo.
