Join our movement to create happy workplaces
Imagine a workplace where people are in control of the work they do. Imagine they have freedom, within clear guidelines, to achieve their results. Imagine they are able to have the life balance they want. Imagine they are accountable for the work they do, rather than the time they spend at their desk.
This is what we mean when we talk about happy workplaces — organisations where staff feel trusted and have freedom within clear guidelines to do their work.
Our 2025 conference will be held at Happy's HQ in Aldgate, central London. It will be filled with interaction, discussion, space for reflection and opportunities to network with others. Speakers are due to be announced in the new year.

Leanne Davies: Facilitator, Coach and Learning Adventurer at LiveLearn, and Sonali Kumarakulasinghe: Facilitator, Coach and Mentor at SK Consulting
How emotions enable our success at work
Emotions are always present at work, and they can be helpful, or unhelpful, in our behaviours, decision making, working relationships and performance. In this experiential session we will use a card deck - the Emotional Culture Deck - to take a practical and intentional approach to identify how our emotions can enable our success at work. Participants will leave the session with increased awareness of how emotions at work matter, with some actionable next steps.
You can learn more by visiting Leanne's website LiveLearn here, and Sonali's LinkedIn here.
Sophie Bryan: Founder of Ordinarily Different
The Power of Sexual Energy in the Workplace: a new paradigm for happiness and success at work
Sophie Bryan is a HR, Leadership and Workplace Culture Specialist, with a twist! She’s also trained in Human Sexuality, Sexology and Relationship Psychology. Sophie is going where no other HR professional has dared to! To talk about sexual dynamics in the workplace. How understanding human nature (such as things like power, dominance, and shame) is the source to eradicating Sexual Harassment in the workplace - not more policies and tick box training! And how, when we harness our sexual energy in positive and appropriate ways, it can create collaboration, connection and creativity at work.
In Sophie's podcast, The Rebel Work, she talks about how we should all have happier, healthier, more productive and purposeful experiences of work.

Ben Clarkson, Chief Finance & Operating Officer at Parkinson's UK
Turning errors into assets: building a culture of trust by celebrating mistakes
Ben decided a long time ago that if he was going to spend most of his life working, he better make sure he enjoys it. Then he came across The Happy Manifesto and it all made sense! Ben has used the principles from the book across his 12+ years in the charity sector, most notably at Asthma + Lung UK where he introduced a values, behaviours, and enablers framework that implemented some of the ideas from the book. In particular, he's a big fan of Celebrating Mistakes, Freedom within boundaries, and Recruit for attitude, train for skill.
Ben is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy, and is currently Chief Finance & Operating Officer at Parkinson's UK. He is also a trustee of the charity Contact, which supports families with disabled children. In his spare time he can be found running, either along the streets of Bromley borough, or after his three young children.
