However, in the past I've made the mistake of trying to retain angry, unhappy, or otherwise disgruntled employees too long. Some people are just irreversibly angry in life and will find a way to be upset about everything. Leaving them in the company will start to bring everyone down. If someone is clearly miserable at your company and you've made efforts to address their problems with no improvement, it's time to remove them.
If you really want to fake happiness the best way is to try to be happy
Pizza and bonuses doesn't equal happiness. Making your office look like Google doesn't bring happiness. The two main things are positive, constructive relationships and autonomy.

Regular exercise at the gym (Three days a week)

1. Create company where you say u care about happiness but you don't actually do anything to make ppl happy. Due to randomness, some ppl will be happy, and those who happen to be treated badly will be unhappy.
2. Measure happiness (perhaps with an "anonymous" employee satisfaction survey)
3. Retain ppl who are happy.
Floggings will continue until your happiness KPIs improve.
