Staying positive in challenging times has been difficult for many workplaces and organisations.

Motivating teams post-pandemic can be a challenge. After all, the world has been turned upside down over the past few months.

Mental health has never been more important. Developing sustainable, positive mental health strategies will be one of the biggest challenges faced by organisations as the world adapts to post-pandemic ways of working and learning.

If you want one, there’s an ‘international day’ for almost everything. Most are made up too, but there’s a few Laughology favourites: Polar Bear Plunge Day, International Buffet Day (who wouldn’t like a buffet everyday?) and International Week of Happiness at Work. A whole week!

CIPD North East of England Branch is having a party... and you’re invited too. Okay, it’s virtual but that means you can have a drink and enjoy the day.

We know you love a freebie as much as we do, so when we were asked to join one of our partners, CIPD Shropshire, to deliver a FREE webinar, we jumped at the chance and you can too.

Tired of boring INSET days? Keen to help your staff feel motivated and positive when you return in September?  We hear you.

Lead Happiness Consultant, Dave Keeling, was thrilled to be back on the road in May, and what better place to visit than the stunning St. Edwards Independent School in Oxford (think Hogwarts without the dementors) to work on communication and stand-up skills.
