Celebrate Black History Month with Happy

Join us for a free, interactive online celebration on Tuesday, 15th October from 10am, as we honour Black History Month and showcase the incredible talent within our Global Majority leadership community.

Hi, we are Happy

We are leading a movement to create happy, empowered and productive workplaces.

How can we help you and your people to find joy in at least 80% of your work?

Keep informed about happy workplaces

Sign up to Henry's monthly Happy Manifesto newsletter, full of tips and inspiration to help you to create a happy, engaged workplace.

Diversity at work matters more than ever before. No longer can organisations ignore the huge impact that having a diverse range of perspectives has – encouraging new ideas and creative solutions. Diverse organisations win top talent, improve their customer satisfaction and have better decision making, resulting in a huge competitive advantage.

Happy’s Global Majority apprenticeship programmes are designed to amplify these voices and create a new generation of leaders who reflect the rich diversity of our society.

In this free online event on 15th October, we will start the day with a session on how to network effectively, setting you up for success. This will then be followed with an interactive networking session.

You will also hear from inspiring Global Majority leaders, including Femi Otitoju. Femi is a diversity and inclusion specialist. She has pioneered Unconscious Bias training in the UK, and is a charismatic and inspiring speaker.

Support your aspiring and current managers to be empowering and confident leaders with Happy

Happy offers leadership programmes at Level 3, Level 5 and Level 7, from new managers/supervisor level all the way up to senior leadership teams and CEOs. These programmes are based on the ideas of trusting your people. They are practical and based on applying what yo’ve learnt. We aim to inspire and ignite change in your organisation, as well as giving you valuable management skills such as business strategy, decision-making, negotiation and project management.

We also offer programmes tailored specifically to people from Global Majority backgrounds. The content is the same, but have been designed to give new and experienced managers the skills they need to navigate organisational culture with a clearer perspective on their own potential, as well as building their confidence and expanding their professional strengths.
