Fennande van der Meulen co-founded Happy Office in 2015 with Maartje Wolff. Since then, they support companies and teams to build positive work cultures, improve teamwork and happiness by giving in-depth training and workshops. They teach an in-depth Happiness-at-Work Expert training (4 days), a Positive Culture Agent Training (5 days), and the internationally known Woohoo CHO academy (3 days, originally founded by Alexander Kjerulf). Everything they do is evidence-based and rooted in their work with companies to effectively changing leadership and behavior.
In 2020 they published their first book: The Happy Office Manifesto, the four pillars of a positive work culture (currently in Dutch only, translation planned for 2022). The book is nominated for the title Management book of the year 2021.
As founders of the International Week of Happiness at Work in 2018, they support companies to put the topic on the agenda and start to realize the benefits of happiness in their organization. This DIY movement has spread rapidly over the globe, with hundreds of companies in over 45 countries joining each year, and counting. In 2019 they co-founded the Global Online Happiness at Work Summit, with over 1200 participants from 47 countries and 40 leading expert speakers.
Since 2020 they joined the international team that took over Woohoo Unlimited (formerly Woohoo Inc), a network of 100+ practitioners and facilitators on happiness at work from over 30 countries.
