Prices Changing for Leadership and Personal Development Courses

We have reviewed customer feedback from the last year and have improved our Leadership and Personal Development courses to be more consistent, in-line with Happy’s principles and even more effective. With these improvements, we have also reviewed our pricing structure. Some of the prices for our Leadership and Personal Development programmes will be changing from 1st September 2019.

We are very excited to announce our speaker line up at our 2019 Happy Workplaces Conference.

The conference will be held on 13th June at the Light in Friends House. This beautiful venue is directly opposite Euston Station in central London, and just a stone’s throw away from King’s Cross and St Pancras station.

Introducing the New Happy Planner

The Happy Planner is a brand new planner and learning journal designed by Happy to help you to embody the values and principles of our four-day Happy Workplace Leadership Programme.

Would the gender pay gap be less if salaries were transparent? The average woman at Happy is paid 1.1% more than the average man. I think that’s close enough to count as one of the 9% of companies that pay women and men roughly the same.

In the summer of 1987 I wrote in my diary that I could never imagine being happy again. The newspaper I had helped set up, News on Sunday, was on the verge of collapse. Our 200 employees would lose their jobs and the backers would lose their investment. I felt totally crushed, and close to a breakdown. 30 years on, life feels rather different. Happy is a thriving business. We help people become more productive with their software and we help organisations to create happy, productive workplaces. It gives me a lift every time I walk into our colourful, friendly training centre.

Happy is proud to be a Freedom-Centered Workplace

I am proud to announce that Happy has qualified as a WorldBlu certified Freedom-Centred Workplace for the fourth time. We are one of only three UK companies to make the list this year and are honoured to be there alongside John Lewis.

We are very excited to announce that Paul Gapper is a Finalist for the Learning Professional of the Year at the 2017 Learning Awards!
