I love this post, Jacob.  You have really pulled apart "employee satisfaction" into so many areas that those in charge don't always think about, like the importance of a relaxed environment or feeling of community.

I also like how you weaved in the word "happy," and expanded what it means at work.  It used to make me crazy when we would talk about "keeping employees happy" and it seemed "solutions" always revolved around money.  We humans are so much more complicated than than and can find "reward" in many ways.  You have acknowledged that and we an all learn from it

Great job!
