Established in 1987, Happy has helped thousands of organisations to create happy and productive workplaces.
Here are a few of our success stories...
"The flexibility of the programme was great. Being able to tailor the plan to suit our situation was really helpful. Jo was fantastic as a facilitator and helped to shape the sessions so that we really did hone in on the objectives we had set out to achieve," says Martin Bell, People, Talent & Culture Director at Devon Air Ambulance.
The OU Students Association is effectively the student union for the Open University with 40 staff alongside student volunteers responding to the needs of the 170,000 students. "The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive for all the courses we’ve done at Happy," explains Nicola Powell, Training and Wellbeing Officer.
“I would absolutely recommend Happy to any organisation looking to offer high quality Office 365 training. You’ll have access to a wide range of live sessions, guidance documents, resources and support - all with clear costs and value for money,” says Chris Pickard, OD Adviser. “Anyone working with Happy will receive great customer service, and Happy will work in partnership to ensure your needs are listened to and met.”
The most recent project has been a roll out of training in Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) to all of their staff to support working during the pandemic. "Happy is a really friendly and easy to work with training provider, whose courses are applicable to a wide range of roles and skill levels," says Molly Banyard, Business Support Administrator at Citizens Advice.
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.
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 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.
