Research shows that happy employees tend to be more productive. This means promoting happiness in the company makes commercial sense “even if you’re a total Scrooge and only care about making money”.

In this May 2, 2013 photo, a tourist takes photographs of a leatherback turtle as it heads to the ocean after burying her eggs in the sand at daybreak on a narrow strip of beach in Grande Riviere, Trinidad. Officials with the U.S.-based Sea Turtle Conservancy say Trinidad is now likely the worldâ s leading tourist destination for people to see leatherbacks. (AP Photo/David McFadden)
GRANDE RIVIERE, Trinidad — Giant leatherback turtles, some weighing half as much as a small car, drag themselves out of the ocean and up the sloping shore on the northeastern coast of Trinidad while villagers await wearing dimmed headlamps in the dark. Their black carapaces glistening, the turtles inch along the moonlit beach, using their powerful front flippers to move their bulky frames onto the sand.
In years past, poachers from Grande Riviere and nearby towns would ransack the turtles' buried eggs and hack the critically threatened reptiles to death with machetes to sell their meat in the market. Now, the turtles are the focus of a thriving tourist trade, with people so devoted to them that they shoo birds away when the turtles first start out as tiny hatchlings scurrying to sea.
The number of leatherbacks on this tropical beach has rebounded in spectacular fashion, with some 500 females nesting each night during the peak season in May and June, along the 800-meter-long (875-yard) beach. Researchers now consider the beach at Grand Riviere, alongside a river that flows into the Atlantic, the most densely nested site for leatherbacks in the world.
"It's sometimes hard remembering that leatherbacks are actually endangered," said tour guide Nicholas Alexander as he watched more emerge from the surf.

Drug Charge for Virgin Islands Environment Officer - AP
By DAVID McFADDEN Associated Press
Drug Charge for Virgin Islands... - ABC News - 5/19/2013
Federal agents have arrested the top enforcement officer for the U.S. Virgin Islands environment agency on drug trafficking charges after he was allegedly caught with a cache of cocaine on a government patrol boat.
In a statement issued late Saturday, the U.S. attorney's office in the three-island U.S. Caribbean territory said Roberto Tapia was ordered held without bail pending a Tuesday hearing. He is the director of environmental enforcement for the Virgin Islands' Department of Planning and Natural Resources.
A criminal complaint filed in the U.S. islands' district court alleges federal agents observed Tapia using one of the department's boats in a drug trafficking conspiracy. They allege Tapia was armed, uniformed and possessed a bag containing more than 15 pounds (seven kilograms) of cocaine when arrested Friday.
The case is being investigated by several local and U.S. agencies, including the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Coast Guard and a public corruption task force.
On Sunday, acting Police Commissioner Rodney F. Querrard Sr. said it was a "sad day" when any law enforcer is accused of breaking the laws that they are sworn to uphold.
"I can assure the public that ours is a policy of zero tolerance for any violations of law by those in our law enforcement divisions — zero tolerance," Querrard said from the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Tapia has been charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.
It was not immediately known if he had a lawyer. He has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the case. It wasn't immediately clear if Tapia would be paid while on leave.
During a U.S. House committee hearing last month, DEA administrator Michele M. Leonhart told lawmakers that officials were concerned about upticks in drug trafficking in the Caribbean and the corrupting influence it can have on local law enforcement officials in the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
"Traffickers have targeted these islands and you've got also corruption issues within local law enforcement that has caused problems, compromises of the investigations. It's just harder for these hard-working, very dedicated officers and agents to do their jobs," Leonhart said.
