Established in 1987, Happy has helped thousands of organisations to create happy and productive workplaces.
Here are a few of our success stories...
Between 2016 and 2018, Happy worked with a large company to provide support for a staged roll out of an upgrade to their system. Users needed to be able to work as usual from go-live. Happy provided videos, online learning and face-to-face learning. The project was ambitious, on a nationwide scale with an ever-evolving schedule.
Happy has worked for over five years with Just IT to transform their workplace culture. Simon Perriton, Just IT's CEO, was originally inspired by the book Relax!: A Happy Business Story and the Happy Manifesto. Since then, Happy has delivered leadership training, 1-to-1 Executive Coaching and on-going support through our conferences and events.
Happy created 2.5 hours of classroom training for government vets who might use enforcement techniques in the course of normal duties. We then created an online refresher course as a follow-up to the classroom training. This was designed to remind vets of the rules and important points associated with evidence gathering and work that has a legal dimension.
SRE asked us to create an eLearning module aimed at supporting sex and relationships education that is inclusive of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender identities. The module complimented efforts to tackle homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying at school.
Initially, Happy were engaged for the purpose of creating materials for a straightforward IT training and culture change project. After the initial scoping exercise, Happy redesigned pre-existing, standard content to help staff at Teenage Cancer Trust use the new and improved technology available to improve their working lives.
Pfizer chose Happy to develop and deliver training to support the roll-out of a Siebel-based CRM system to 13,000 salespeople across 22 countries. The core of the approach was to understand the needs of the sales staff and focusing the training on improving the way they worked.
Happy developed a six-month Clinical Leadership Development Programme for the Nottingham University Hospital (NUH), which included five days of classroom training, eLearning, an online community and online assessment.
Happy has worked with Advanced Technology Services UK Ltd (ATS) since 2015. We began with the Happy Workplace Leadership Programme over six months. The aim of the training was to ensure that managers at ATS understood their role in creating a brilliant place to work, and to give them the tools to support this. Since then we have supported leadership development at ATS through multiple training events based around the Happy Workplace Programme.
Kensington Youth Services was part of Kensington and Chelsea Council until April 2014. They changed their name to Epic CIC on becoming independent. To break free from the Council and establish themselves as an independent social enterprise, they needed to radically change their organisation's culture. Under the leadership of Brendan O'Keefe, they needed to create an innovative company that would thrive in a competitive market wile still reflecting public sector values. Happy has supported Epic CIC throughout this transformation through leadership programmes and workshops.
Happy produced a 30 minute online course on cyberbullying which was part of wider programme aimed at reducing the bullying of disabled children and young people and those with SEN (Special Educational Needs) in school. The aim of the course was to leave teachers and carers better equipped to identify, respond and prevent cyberbullying.
