If you have been using Skype, you'll have noticed the giant warning at the top of the program, stating that Skype is closing on 5th May 2025.

It's time to start transitioning to a new platform, especially if you work from home and use Skype.

Happy is proud to announce that we have been named on the UK’s Best Workplaces™ 2025 List by Great Place To Work.
We now have a range of Continuing Professional Development, or CPD, certified courses. CPD is an essential, recognised approach to helping you keep your skills and knowledge up to date. It supports conscious and pro-active learning and demonstrates commitment towards your role or profession. Our CPD certified courses have been checked by a third party, including all handouts, slides and other supporting learning materials. This ensures our courses have the latest information and are relevant to your role.

But what if I told you that sexual energy — the life force that fuels attraction, passion, and creativity — is also one of the most powerful assets you can bring to your work? Sophie Bryan explains more in this guest blog.
There is much talk about different generations, and at times the narrative seems to imply how incompatible Gen Xers like me are with our younger colleagues. Managing a team with people across the generational divide can bring serious challenges – there are more over 60s in the workplace than ever before and digital natives at the other end whose adult life experience has been totally in the post-COVID world.
