Happy people perform better

Higher engagement and motivation, better cooperation and (team) performance, lower absenteeism, less turnover and less stress. Actively working on work happiness and a positive organizational culture offers many benefits. But where do you start? And how do you ensure that these changes have a lasting effect?

The Happy Office course for Work Happiness expert provides you with all the relevant theoretical (scientific) knowledge, best practices and practical tools to put this theme on the agenda in your organization and keep it alive.
