PEOPLE ARE THE HEART OF YOUR ORGANISATION
At Happiness Initiative, we partner with organisations to identify drivers of well-being, and to equip managers with the knowledge and tools to improve workplace well-being.
Based on quantitative and qualitative research and scientifically validated metrics, we conduct data-driven analyses to explore, map and advise on how to improve employee well-being and engagement.
Why work with us
LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVE
Well-being cannot be taught overnight - we take a long term perspective in designing our programmes.
PEOPLE FOCUSED & DATA-DRIVEN
Our programmes are backed by data and research but are designed for people.
IMPACT ASSESSMENT
We focus on what works - we send an impact report after every programme we run with you.
OUR PROGRAMMES
Mindset For Peak Performance
MINDSET FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE
Our current mindsets have an influence over how we interpret events. Some people bounce back from failures, persevere in the face of obstacles, and see opportunities in adversities. They have the skills to reframe their beliefs towards constructive responses.
This workshop helps participants to develop an awareness of how their beliefs interpret an event. This interpretation then shapes the resulting feelings and actions taken.
DURATION: 90 minutes
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Gain awareness of our negative emotions and beliefs
- Use the ABC model to process events
- Reframe limiting beliefs towards constructive responses
Thriving with Resilience Strategies
THRIVING WITH RESILIENCE STRATEGIES
Our triggers are often a manifestation of something deeper, such as deeply-seated beliefs and unconstructive thinking patterns. In turn, these limiting beliefs and patterns lead to very unconstructive responses during triggering moments.
We can gain awareness of these limiting beliefs and patterns, and uncover the underlying past pain that drives them. This allows us to better prepare strategies to manage triggering moments.
This workshop helps participants to explore three types of strategies to manage triggering moments – Distracting, Distancing, and Disputing.
DURATION: 90 minutes
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Realise the influences of our Past Pain
- Gain awareness of Deeply Seated Beliefs and Thinking Traps
- Learn resilience strategies (Distracting, Distancing, Disputing)
Cultivating Passion through Strengths - The Pursuit of Passion
THE PURSUIT OF PASSION
Angela Duckworth, a psychology professor from the University of Pennsylvania and the author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, says, “Passion for your work is a little bit of discovery, followed by a lot of development, and then a lifetime of deepening.”
Contrary to popular belief, much of what we see as success comes from passion and perseverance, and less of talent.
Passion is positively correlated with career commitment, flow, work performance, job satisfaction, and well-being (Vallerand et al., 2014, Pollack et al., 2020, Jung & Sohn, 2022).
Through this session, participants will explore harmonious passion and learn to apply perseverance strategies to their passion, hence resulting in greater satisfaction and success.
DURATION: 90 minutes
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Explore the Discovering, Developing, and Deepening of PassioN
- Explore your Importance, Interests, Strengths, and Perseverance strategy – 4F
- Explore Harmonious Passion
Burnout and Engagement at Work
BURNOUT AND ENGAGEMENT AT WORK
In our fast-paced and high demands work setting, burnout is a common phenomenon. Lacking the skills to manage burnout comes at a high cost to self and others. A study on a multi-occupational sample of 1197 Spanish professionals shows a negative correlation between burnout and work performance (Sanchez-Gomez & Breso, 2020).
While some of us may not be experiencing burnout, having the skills to foster greater engagement at work not only benefits the organisation but self.
This workshop helps participants to explore ways to think, do, and foster relationships at work to manage burnout and cultivate engagement.
DURATION: 90 minutes
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Gain awareness of Burnout and Engagement
- Explore strategies to manage Burnout
- Explore strategies to increase engagement
Communication For Stronger Relationships
COMMUNICATION FOR STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS
Communication is a key part of sustaining quality relationships. Oftentimes, relationships weaken because of a breakdown in communication. Breakdown in communication can occur either in the way we respond to the good news of others or to the triggering moments involving others.
How we respond to others in good times and bad times can strengthen or weaken relationships. This workshop explores the scientifically validated skills in responding in good and bad times.
Through this workshop, participants will gain the skills to respond constructively in good times and bad times, hence strengthening the quality of relationships, both in personal life and at work.
DURATION: 90 minutes
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Apply Active-Constructive Responding to good news
- Apply Non-Violent Communication to difficult situations
- Promote a culture of growth through feedback
Best Possible Self at Work
BEST POSSIBLE SELF AT WORK
Visualising our Best Possible Self gives us a sense of purpose both at work and in life. Having a sense of purpose is associated with better mental and physical health (Kim et al., 2014) and cope better with challenges.
This workshop helps participants to explore what matters to them and how to move towards their Best Possible Self.
DURATION: 90 minutes
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Visualise our Best Possible Self
- Explore what truly matters (Importance, interest and strengths)
- Apply strategies towards our Best Possible Self
