I’ll be speaking at Hong Kong’s first ever conference on happiness at work on October 23 arranged by our awesome partners at TGI Monday.
Join me and learn exactly how to make your company happier and more succesful and how to be happy at work yourself.
I’ll be speaking at the HR Tech Fest conference in Sydney in October and in preparation, they have put together a great summary of our work headlined Workplace happiness is more powerful than you think. Read it and learn why happiness at work matters so much!
We all have good days and bad days at work and being happy at work is not just about avoiding having bad days at work – it requires having mostly good days, where we actively enjoy our work.
But how often do people around the world have good work days and what makes them good? Is it about compensation, perks and promotions – or do we value other things more?
Our brand new survey of more than 2,500 people worldwide shows how frequent good work days are and reveals their main causes.
For instance, 1 in 3 say they have a good work day every day or almost every day – while 22% experience at most 2-3 good work days a month!
Here are the most important findings from our survey.
And here’s a video where we explain the survey and the main findings:
After a trip to Munich last week and Milan this week, I am now ready for my biggest international speaking tour so far. Over the next 2 months I’ll be speaking at events in Reykjavik, Nashville, Beirut, Hong Kong, Sydney, Prague and Ottawa.
Woohoo :)
Jonathan Mostert has written his business school thesis on Chief Happiness Officers and I got a chance to interview him about his research.
These are the questions we cover:
I’m speaking at two events in Reykjavik on September 27:

I’ll be speaking at this awesome conference on happiness at work in Lebanon on October 11. Join me and learn how to create happier and more successful workplaces.
Wow. Just wow.
Tracy Sharp, a woman with Down’s syndrome, was talking to Vicki Heath, a Southwest Airlines flight attendant, on a flight she was taking and shared that her dream was to be a flight attendant herself.
Heath then did just about the coolest thing ever: She arranged for Tracy to join her on one of her flights as an assistant flight attendant. In the video above you can see just how awesome that went.
There are many such stories of Southwest Airlines staff going above and beyond (this one is my favorite) and I think it just goes to show that when employees are happy, they are much more likely to do nice things for the customers and create good memories for others.
Over 2,000 people have already taken our International Survey on Happiness At Work and we’re starting to see some fascinating results already.
The final report showing which countries are happier at work and what makes them happy will be ready in time for the International Week of Happiness At Work which runs from September 24-28.
This means that the deadline for taking the survey is September 10, so we have time to crunch the numbers.
So if you haven’t taken the survey already, please go here and do it – it only takes 4 minutes and you may even learn something about what makes you happy at work.
And please share the survey with others – the more replies we get, the more relevant the results will be.
