Why Suzi enjoys working at Happy
"I have worked at Happy for 16 years – I started on our reception, welcoming people to our training centre and answering the phones, and in my time here I have worked in many different areas – including customer service, HR and salaries, account management, and writing and submitting bids for tenders.
"At the moment, my core role is as an Account Manager – I work with clients from their initial enquiry to find the right learning solution for their needs, and support them with the logistics of their projects.
"I lead our Sustainability Action Group, which is working on making Happy as environmentally sustainable as possible. I’m also a part of the Psychological Safety Action Group, and am currently working on a project to review and improve our Parental Leave policy, so prospective and existing parents at the company are fully supported.
"I work with a team from across the business to run our annual Open Day, where new and prospective clients are welcomed to Happy for free taster sessions, so they can experience our training for themselves to see how effective and engaging it is.
"I’ve worked part time since having my children, and the flexible working patterns at Happy mean that I was able to choose my working days that fit in with my childcare, and that I can work around the school run.
"I enjoy working for Happy as I like being in charge of my working day – being able to decide for myself what my priorities are and how best to structure my time. I also like the variety of my role, as there’s so many different things I do within my day to day job."
