Coaching

For a company to thrive, it needs its people to be the best employees they can be.

A lot of companies today understand that creating a happy work environment and engaging culture can have a profound impact on the company’s bottom line. So why doesn’t every company focus on creating happiness at work? The problem is that there’s a lot of confusion and misinformation out there on what actually makes someone happy at work.

So while your company is busy spending time, energy and money on “happiness” perks and initiatives that are relatively ineffective in creating a culture of happiness in the workplace, they could be putting those resources towards something much more useful and impactful that will put a spring in everyone’s step.

That’s where we come in.

Whether you’re looking for a few quick tips on how to boost workplace happiness or you’re looking for a complete overhaul on your company’s happiness culture, we can help. We provide tailored training, tools and guidance to organizations and their employees to help create a happy, healthy and high-performing workplace

Chief Happiness Officer

Some companies have invested in happiness at work by creating a new function: ‘The Chief Happiness Officer’. Despite the fact that every company utilizes this function in their own way, almost every ‘CHO’s’ main task is to increase happiness at work. This role may be internal, or the CHO may be hired in as an independent advisor or coach. Hiring a coach or having a CHO trained by a coach will help implement happiness at work in your organization.

Coaching and workshops for managers/executives/CHO’s teaches leaders to stay happy at work themselves and gives them simple, effective tools to make their employees happier and more productive.

Studies clearly show that an organization’s leaders have a huge influence on happiness at work. Good leadership motivates and energizes employees and creates a level of happiness that makes employees go the extra mile for the workplace and the customers. Bad managers on the other hand spread frustration and stress all around them.

These coaching sessions give leaders the knowledge and tools they need to create a happy workplace and drive positive culture change. And it doesn’t take much. Happiness at work is not about raises, bonuses, perks and promotions – it comes from simple, effective actions that any leader ought to know and do.

Similarly, it’s important for leaders themselves to be happy at work. Unhappy managers make their employees miserable, have a harder time reaching their goals and are more prone to stress and illness.

We can do these sessions for experienced leaders as well as for new managers or people in the CHO role and we’ve done them for both top executives, middle managers or mixed groups.

MEASURE ROI ON COACHING

We will help you make sure that the participants gain the most possible and have everything they need to act on it.

Before the workshop

• As soon as you make the booking we will send you a confirmation so we have all the practical details and pricing confirmed.

• We will also arrange a telephone conference where we can learn more about the audience, the current situation of the workplace and what participants should ideally take away.

• We can also measure the participants’ happiness at work with an online survey. The survey only takes 2 minutes to complete and is 100% anonymous and confidential. It gives us an insight into the strengths and challenges of the group and helps us further tailor the content. We will show the results as part of the keynote. You can see a sample survey here.

After the workshop

• The day after the workshop we will send you all materials, including slides, videos and a selection of relevant links/articles. All of this can be shared freely with participants and it’s important that you pass it on to them as soon as possible.

• A week after the event we will arrange a telephone conference where we will give suggestions to how your workplace can act to follow up on the keynote.

• 2-3 months after the event we can measure participants’ happiness at work again using the same survey to see how much it has gone up.

All of the above is included in the workshop fee.
