There’s absolutely no doubt that happy employees are better employees.  Among other things they’re healthier, more productive, they work better in teams and they interact more positively with customers and clients.

But attracting and keeping good staff is becoming increasingly difficult and many organisations are struggling with the fact they need to get more done, with fewer people. Workplace stress is a serious, significant and costly problem that impacts directly on the bottom line.

The Happiness Institute’s “Happiness @ Work" programs are specifically designed and individually tailored to provide effective solutions to these problems. They typically include some, or all of the following options - consulting, executive coaching, seminars and workshops. 

Within each program are strategies that help participants learn crucial interpersonal and communication skills, strategies for positive, optimistic thinking, and recommendations for making the most of strengths and special attributes. And most notably, the “Happiness @ Work" programs include suggestions for having fun while you do what you do even better!

Read what one of our recent clients had to say:

“Dr Happy recently presented at our IT @ AMP Leaders Forum series and the response was extremely positive. Dr Happy was credible and engaging. Our leadership group, which includes IT Directors and managers, found the session  practical and very inspiring They took away insights that they could use to enhance happiness in their personal and work lives and they were reminded that Happiness is attainable and something you can choose. Dr Happy was such an inspiration that we have invited him back to talk to our employees and we have recommended him to others in AMP."

Lee Barnett, CIO - AMP Services Ltd

Prof. Sharp also teaches a course through his appointment at the UTS Business School that is direclty relevant to happiness at work and Christine Stasi (DIrector - PriceWaterhouseCoopers) recently enjoyed her time on the course so much she wrote the following:

Prof. Sharp teaches powerful strategies that were incredibly relevant to me and the organisation within which I work. Just as importantly, Tim's teaching style combined academic rigour with lots of fun, and he did a tremendous job of facilitating a diverse group with different and challenging agendas.

And Dawn Leong from Westpac:

Dr. Sharp’s presentation went extremely well with just the right mix of knowledge, humour & irreverence!  I also want to mention that working with Tim has been a treat.  Having worked with lots of people I particularly look for those (a) who take the time to listen, "get" us and are able to adjust content accordingly, (b) whose work has integrity and (c) who’re easy to work with; Dr. Sharp satisfied all of those and I was impressed with the amount of time he was happy to spend with us to get there. I hope to be able to work with him again in the future. 

And another client (Sophie Bartho - Managing Director):

"Brandswell™ has utilised Sharp & Co. (executive coaches) and The Happiness Institute for a diverse range of personal and business coaching projects. It is their breadth of offering and depth of experience which has enabled Brandswell™ to realise some valuable change in our organisation’s culture and management. Importantly, this has delivered real results in terms of employee engagement, retention, management relationships and business results. They are by far, the best business coaching organisation we have experienced."
