A happier workforce has been widely demonstrated to be more: productive, loyal, responsible, creative, efficient, resilient, self reliant and collaborative.  Happiness is also shown to correlate with lower carbon usage and greater community cohesion and equality.  It can be at the heart of better HR, CSR, PR, organizational development and leadership.

The Happiness Challenge is a development programme for organizations and businesses of every size and sector. It enables individuals to thrive, teams to work better, more creatively, more productively and with less human and natural resources.  Organizations become beacons of positive activity, where diversity is a strength, relationships are constructive and dynamic, and creativity, responsibility and collaboration are the norms.

The Challenge focuses on staff members and is given to organizations where between 2 and 15 staff members successfully complete the programme. These individuals become Happiness Champions and change facilitators within the organization equipped to inspire their colleagues with an infectious culture of positive action. The skills and the activities they gain through the programme will ensure the benefits take root for a sustainable impact.

This cutting edge programme, combines the best in global leadership & organisational development work with positive psychology and the economics of happiness - it’s your chance to get ahead of the crowd.

The Challenge is a 10 week programme running over 3 months, combining group workshops with online, one to one and coaching support. It will work with up to 60 participants from up to 30 organisations. As in all high quality further education, peer to peer learning and support plays a significant role, so we’ve optimized interaction and involvement between participants, and with the Happiness Challenge Team.  Businesses, organizations or teams embarking on the Happiness Challenge, they will benefit from baseline research into current levels of wellbeing across many categories within their team and stakeholders, and then follow up surveys to track changes over time.   

THE FIRST HAPPINESS CHALLENGE PROGRAMME STARTS IN September 2012.   For more information, download the brochure here,  or email mike@happycity.org.uk
