We currently have an opportunity of a lifetime for a Chief Happiness Officer role.

The Chief Happiness Officer's main role is to ensure the happiness of employees in the workplace. By setting a new way of thinking, acting, empowering staff, a way of changing the culture for the better from within, enabling happiness to grow from the inside. Happy employees are better employees!

Main tasks include:

• Making sure employees feel valued. Not just as professionals, but as people. Our emotions do not stay at the entrance door when we get to work, they come in and stick with us all day. Realizing this is a fundamental step on the way to a happy company.

• Guarantee basic principles. For employees to be motivated and feel fulfilled in their work, the first thing they need is good working conditions.

• Listening to employees. To understand what it is employees need to be happy, you need to listen to them. It is the only way we can figure out when something is not going as well as it should, and what to do to make it better.

• Value day to day work. Nothing burns us out more quickly than feeling like your effort is not appreciated. It is the CHO’s duty to make sure employees know that their work matters.

• Support growth. Work can and should be a source of personal fulfillment on every level. In order to feel this fulfillment, people need to have room to grow, educate themselves and learn continuously every day. The CHO should help make sure they have the resources and means to do this within their workspace.

• Create a positive work environment. It’s not all about productivity and salaries: employees should be having fun at work! This is the Chief Happiness Officer’s key goal.

• Encourage teamwork. Positively functioning teams is a “symptom” of a functioning company, not only in terms of productivity but also in terms of happiness in the company. In order to promote and encourage it, the CHO should organize events like team building activities, retreats and others that build team spirit.

• Empower employees. The more power employees have regarding the company and how it works, the more emotional energy they will invest in it and the more satisfied they will feel in their day to day. 

To be successful in this role you must be:
