If there were an easy way to reduce sick days, boost team morale, make happier customers, and create a more pleasant work environment, you’d probably try it, right? What if it could also make you physically and mentally healthier, and even extend your lifespan? And what if it is free?

Good news. This magic cure already exists.

It’s gratitude.

Study after study has shown gratitude helps people become healthier, happier, and more successful, and it can impact your business in the same ways.

Gratitude’s proven benefits

Enhanced teamwork and customer experience. Gratitude inspires prosocial behavior—that is, behavior intended to benefit other people. When employees are willing to pitch in and help each other, more gets done. Prosocial behavior benefits customers too. A team that’s naturally driven to go above and beyond for each other is likely to do the same for customers.
