Do Happy Workers Lead to More Productive Teams?

What if you could save your company $15 million by changing your break schedule?  What if by adding larger lunch tables you were able to increase the retention of your talent by 75% in one year?

Despite the fact that communication with customers and information flow between coworkers are among the most crucial aspects of any business, until today there hasn't been any objective, scalable way to capture that information. Using cutting edge wearable sensing technology MIT Media Lab innovator Ben Waber investigates how people communicate with each other in the real and virtual world and how their communication patterns impact happiness, individual performance, and organizational success.

Attendees will learn how:

• Sensor data can help you discover who your internal experts really are
• Identifying employees involved in "creative" behaviors can help you promote innovation throughout your business
