Happiness at Work Conference - 2nd November 2011

The concept of “Happiness at Work” is fast becoming a hot bed of discussion and is increasingly being explored in the workplace.


There is no doubt about it; life is becoming increasingly challenging and stressful. Levels of workplace stress are alarmingly high and with the current economic challenges we face, more pressure is being put on people to increase their productivity at work with seemingly no additional reward.

As deep public-sector cuts loomed, David Cameron told a conference in 2010 that it was time "We admitted that there's more to life than money," adding: "It's time we focused not just on GDP but on GWB – general wellbeing."

The “Happiness at Work” Conference 2011 aims to raise awareness of the ways in which ‘happiness’ contributes to business success and sustainability. We have invited a range of industry experts and speakers who will deliver presentations on the benefits of happiness including essential ideas and information and solid business evidence examples.

With much evidence and many success stories emerging about the benefits of happiness and wellbeing it seems that an investment in happiness makes great business sense.

We have chosen 2nd November for the event as this is National Stress Day. Our feeling is that we want to move people away from focussing on stress and to take a more proactive approach to wellbeing by focusing on Health and Happiness in the Workplace.

We have been working very successfully on our Workplace Wellness and Modern Life Skills programmes which are proving to be increasingly popular. As a result, we are beginning to see the impact embracing happiness at work has on absenteeism and indeed mental health in the workplace. Really it is about encouraging individuals to take more personal responsibility.

We are charging £195 plus VAT for each delegate to cover costs and all profitable proceeds will be donated to the Action for Happiness charity.
