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.

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
Some people bounce back from failures, persevere in the face of obstacles, and see opportunities in adversities. What makes some people more resilient and achieve better performance than others?
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.
Through this workshop, participants will learn the skill to be aware of their challenging beliefs and ways to reframe them using a Growth Mindset orientation, hence resulting in more resilient responses towards better performance.
DURATION: 90 minutes (our recommendation, but can be customised according to your organisation’s needs)
FORMAT: In-person or Virtual
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Gain awareness of our negative emotions and beliefs
- Learn the ABC model to describe how we process events
- Apply a growth mindset to Reframing negative beliefs
Resilience Strategies for Success
RESILIENCE STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS
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. Hence, we fall short of better versions of ourselves.
We can gain awareness of these limiting beliefs and patterns, and uncover the underlying past pain that drives them. Gaining awareness of our past pain and its limiting effects allow us to be more ready to transcend them.
Through this session, participants will learn strategies to overcome their limiting beliefs and unconstructive thinking patterns, hence resulting in better versions of themselves.
DURATION: 90 minutes (our recommendation, but can be customised according to your organisation’s needs)
FORMAT: In-person or Virtual
KEY TAKEAWAYS:

- Learn resilience strategies (Distracting, Distancing, Disputing) to manage limiting beliefs and patterns
- Generate personal strategies that are aligned with the 3Ds
Passion & Perseverance for Success
PASSION & PERSEVERANCE FOR SUCCESS
Contrary to popular belief, much of what we see as success comes from perseverance and passion, and less of talent.
There is a science around the kind of perseverance that can bring about greater success, and much can be learnt from the multiplying effect of passion.
Through this session, participants will learn strategies to persevere, cultivate passion at work, and hence resulting in greater job satisfaction and work success.
DURATION: 90 minutes (our recommendation, but can be customised according to your organisation’s needs)

Purpose refers to a central goal in which our life revolves around. Work can give us a sense of purpose and meaning in our life, and hence is important to our well-being.
This workshop explores how to connect the work we do to a stronger sense of purpose and meaning in our life.
Through this session, participants can experience a scientifically validated intervention known as Life Crafting, to promote greater purpose in our work and life. It involves exploring what truly matters to us and working towards our Best Possible Self.

Secure Attachment for Stronger Relationships
SECURE ATTACHMENT FOR STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS
The way we behave in our relationships at work is influenced by our views of ourselves and others.
Attachment theory describes the kind of relationships that we form with others. We can understand our pre-disposed attachment style and how that influences the relationships that we form at work. From there, we can better understand how our negative emotions and behaviours at work come about.
Through this session, participants will learn their Attachment Styles at work and how to develop more constructive relationships with their colleagues.
DURATION: 90 minutes (our recommendation, but can be customised according to your organisation’s needs)
FORMAT: In-person or Virtual
KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Communication For Stronger Relationships
COMMUNICATION FOR STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS
Communication is a key part in 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 (our recommendation, but can be customised according to your organisation’s needs)
FORMAT: In-person or Virtual
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Apply Active-Constructive Responding to good news
- Apply Non-Violent Communication to difficult situations
- Promote a culture of growth through feedback
Pro-Social Behaviours for Success
PRO-SOCIAL BEHAVIOURS FOR SUCCESS
Other-centredness is contrasted to self-centredness. We all have an innate desire to focus on ourselves. Yet, many of us also have the capacity to move beyond our self-centredness for the benefit of others.
Research suggests that a team of other-centered individuals outperforms a team of self-centered individuals. Being in a work environment with more other-centred individuals promotes greater motivation and satisfaction.
Through this session, participants will explore the benefits of other-centredness, and be inspired to adopt strategies that promote other-centredness at work.
DURATION: 90 minutes (our recommendation, but can be customised according to your organisation’s needs)
FORMAT: In-person or Virtual
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Understand the difference between self-centredness and other-centredness
- Explore how we can tap on our strengths to set goals to become more other-centred at work
- Learn strategies to cultivate other-centredness

Research suggests that we can successfully give without burning out.
Through this workshop, participants will understand key differences between successful and sacrificial giving, and learn strategies to give without burning out.
DURATION: 90 minutes (our recommendation, but can be customised according to your organisation’s needs)
