Predicting an employee’s future success at a company has traditionally stumped experts, and relying on metrics, such as IQ level, only tells 25% of the story. What makes up the other 75%, according to Shawn Achor, Harvard researcher and positive psychology expert, is the belief that your behavior matters, a positive social support system, and whether you view a challenge as a stress or an impetus to improve.
Achor inspired the audience in his keynote address at EBN’s Benefits Forum & Expo in Dallas in September, where he shared his research findings and solutions to achieving long-term happiness, which ensures that people thrive in their work and family environments.
