We spend a large part of our lives at work, and this has a significant impact on the rest of our lives. Therefore, paying more attention to happiness at work can make a difference. By declaring this week as the International Week of Happiness at Work, we want to put this theme on the map for as many organizations as possible, both domestically and internationally. This way, we ensure that the movement towards greater work happiness grows, for both organizations and individuals. Are you joining us?
27% of employees have one or more bad workdays per week. That is unfortunate, because we spend a lot of time at work. Moreover, if we are happy there, it also greatly affects the rest of our lives. And happiness of employees is also relevant for organizations. Happy employees are healthier, more engaged, work better together, and are more productive. You would think it would be crazy not to do anything about it, right?
And that is precisely why we in 2018 declared a whole week in European Autumn as the International Week of Happiness at Work. The International Week of Happiness at Work is meant to connect people and organizations that consider work happiness important. It aims to initiate conversations on how we can make being happy at work the norm. This way, we can collectively work towards putting happiness at work on the agenda everywhere and making it normal to focus on it. Every one and every organization in their own way. This means we do not organize a large international conference, but instead, invite organisations to set up small-scale events. In 2025 this week will be from 6 – 10 October, in 2026 from 21 – 25 September.
