This document presents the objectives and results of a study on employee happiness and engagement. The study aimed to determine if happy employees are more engaged at work and if engaged employees have higher self-worth. Survey results showed that most employees are satisfied with their jobs and likely to remain in their current roles long-term. Respondents reported usually feeling happy, valued, and that their work is meaningful. Additionally, the majority have close friends at work and place high importance on job performance, indicating they are engaged.
