Definition:

The iOpener Institute defines happiness at work as: “… a mindset which enables action to maximize performance and achieve potential.”

​

Increasing the levels of happiness in organizations has been proven to increase productivity (time on task), creativity and energy levels, and to decrease staff rotation and sick leave. A key to achieving greater happiness in an organization is raising people’s awareness that happiness is their own, not the organization’s, responsibility.

​

As a specific example of the impact of happiness work, the happiest people are productive about 80% of the time, while the least happy are productive only 40%. This is measured by the % of time that people are focused on their tasks. The implication of this is that the happiest people are providing a company 1.25 days a week more of their time than the least happy. Just think what could happen if every person in your organization were a little happier!

​

We apply the highly rigorous Science of Happiness at Work diagnostic tools (either at individual, team or organization-wide levels), as a way to identify points of intervention to increase happiness. We then accompany the organization in designing and implementing changes, either at an individual, team or organizational level.
