Most organizations chase productivity while overlooking its greatest driver: employee happiness. Research shows that happy workers are more innovative, engaged, and productive, yet few leaders know how to systematically cultivate workplace wellbeing.
This course delivers a research-backed framework for understanding and increasing happiness at work. You’ll explore how workplace happiness drives measurable improvements in innovation, retention, and work quality, then learn the empirical factors that create it. The curriculum zeroes in on high-impact practices like gratitude exercises, purpose alignment, and building cooperative relationships.
Keltner and Simon-Thomas, whose Science of Happiness course reached 500,000 students globally, translate psychological research into workplace applications. You’ll identify common barriers to happiness at individual and cultural levels, then develop strategies to overcome them.
The practical framework equips you to evaluate organizational happiness levels, design targeted interventions, and implement changes whether you’re focusing on yourself, leading a team, or shaping company culture. Workplace leaders gain specific techniques for embedding happiness practices into organizational DNA.
Perfect for anyone seeking to improve their work experience or create more thriving teams through science, not guesswork.
