Our Framework
As leaders, we all want Workplace Happiness. Yet most find it elusive when navigating the path using traditional "wellness" and HR tools .
Science points to an optimal starting point and a systematic progression to achieving a happy health workforce.
At The Happiness Department, we've cracked the code on what truly works. Allow us to guide you in applying the most effective evidence to foster lasting happiness within your organization.

Who We Are
Once upon a time there was an occupational therapist...
… with a deep-rooted belief that every person deserves meaningful activity in their daily life, whether it be through play, leisure, family, self-care, community service, or employment. (Spoiler- she held firmly to this belief throughout her career).
As she transitioned from clinical practice to leadership, she recognized her employees as her ‘clients’, and developed a leadership style focused on helping each one to experience safety, meaning, connection, empowerment, recognition and growth in their work.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, she served in a People & Culture senior leadership role. In the midst of this challenging time, she recognized a gap between what HR professionals wanted to do for employees, and the reality of their focus.
This gap aligned with her own purpose, strengths, experience, and a passion for what she now recognized as Workplace Happiness – and the Happiness Department was born. Not your typical consultancy, we offer real evidence-based care for employees.
