Happy At Work, Quit

Quit for the climate

Leave a comment

Global warming is an existential threat to all humanity and corporations emit the vast majority of manmade greenhouse gases.

If you currently work for a company that does not urgently strive to become carbon neutral in a very short time frame, you have two choices:

  1. Do everything you can to make that organization carbon neutral
  2. If they won’t, quit and go work for a company that will

It doesn’t matter if you’re the CEO or the receptionist, you have an ethical responsibility to not use your time and talents in the service of a workplace that is wrecking the planet.

If enough of us act on this, we can force more corporations to take the climate seriously, either by changing their behavior from the inside or by sapping them of critical employee talent.

You can change things – and at the very least you can make sure that your work days aren’t spent hurting our children’s futures.

More and more workplaces are realizing that workplace happiness matters – A LOT. They know that happy employees do better work, get sick less often and stay with the company longer. Simply put, they’ve seen that happy companies make more money.

And a lot of these companies are looking for some help to become better workplaces, which has created a market for workplace happiness consultants, speakers and facilitators.

I have been in that field for 17 years working with clients like LEGO, IKEA, IBM, Microsoft and Pfizer in more than 50 countries. In this Heartcount webinar on June 24 I will share my top 5 tips for success in this field, including:

  • How to market and sell your services to clients
  • How to convince companies or managers who don’t believe in “happiness” at work
  • How to make your services as effective as possible

Sign up for the webinar now and get proven tools and insights that you can use to grow your business as a workplace happiness consultant.

How to create a happy workplace in ANY industry

Leave a comment

Whenever we talk about happy workplaces, a lot of the conversation tends to be about big US corporations with huge budgets like Google, Zappos or Southwest Airlines.

But happiness is possible in (nearly) any industry and in any country.

That’s why I was so excited to talk to Nicolás González Restrepo for our latest Heartcount webinar and learn how the company Contento BPS S.A in Colombia creates a happy culture for their 2,000 people – even in a Latin American machismo culture and even though their main business is as a call center for debt collections.

Learn how they created a great culture and how it helped improve absenteeism, employer brand and financial results.

And if they can do it, what’s your company’s excuse? :)
