Happiness For Work

The successes of embody's Happiness For Life are coming to the workplace. Crafting your job to be an activity that provides you with pleasure, meaning and flow isn't rocket science.

Which of these benefits would you like to develop in your business?

Productivity

• Higher creativity and problem solving.
• Higher productivity.
• Higher quality work.
• Faster attention to problems and faults.

Staff and HR

• Happy employees report higher overall quality of life.
• Longer term loyalty to employer with huge savings in recruitment.
• Fewer sick days are taken by happy employees.
• Happy workplaces attract higher quality candidates.

Relationships and Communication

• Customers report higher satisfaction with happy staff.
• Happy employees get higher managerial evaluations.
• Develop resilience and better adaptability to change.
• More helpful behaviours and organisational citizenship.

The benefits speak for themselves and each have further consequences which you can imagine for yourself. All of these can be achieved in the short to medium term through no great cost or upheaval. In fact the typical short term rise in happiness amongst employees would be equivalent to a £50,000 bonus.

Plus: this isn’t a remedial approach. It is in nature fun and rewarding to do. One candidate recently said it was just wonderful to be given the opportunity to talk about happiness. Working with embody and Happiness For Work isn’t about fixing problems, which is a common approach to workplace development, it is about recognising existing strengths through rigorously research positive psychology interventions and coaching. The only outcome can be positive.

Keys to developing an optimally functioning, strengths based workplace are leadership and managerial skills which is where embody comes in. I’ll work with you and your business to develop existing strengths and the confidence to make change. I have worked with over 70 leaders and managers from different organisations throughout Europe and I would love to work with you and your workplace. Contact me to explore more.
