“Work?! Working makes me incredibly tired! After all, my employer is only interested in making a profit and doesn’t really care about his employees. I’m just counting down to the day I can start my retirement!” Chief Happiness Griet Deca definitely does not agree with statements like these. Although there’s plenty of goodwill at both sides of the table, a lot of employers and even more employees are unhappy at work. That may come as a surprise but it’s not: unconsciously, we often screw up happiness at work leaving a trace of disappointment and stress. Let’s talk about those happiness killers and discover how we can transform them into happiness boosters.
After proposing a scientific definition of happiness at work, Griet shares a number of common business practices she’s encountered over the years. Unfortunately, there are a lot of unintended happiness killers to be spotted. Which is truly a shame if you know that happiness at work has a solid ROI for the employee, the team leader, and the organization.
Tony’s Chocolonely isn’t your average chocolate company, but a chocolate company with a huge mission; to end modern slavery and exploitation in the cocoa industry. With amazing chocolate recipes they set the example and show that chocolate can be made in a more responsible way; in taste, packaging and the way they build long term relationships with cocoa farmers and the way they handle an open and transparent value chain.
Tony’s ‘Choco Evangelist’ will tell the story of Tony’s roadmap towards 100% slave free chocolate worldwide and how everyone can join this movement. At Tony’s, our team is on top of the list. Because only with the most engaged and committed colleagues can we reach our mission. Ynzo will talk about how we work together within Tony’s, and how the company culture revolves around happiness.
Each of the three workshops is held in a different language: Dutch, French or English. Pick your favourite workshop and get ready for some online interaction.

These are difficult times, where most of us experience a lot of uncertainty, vulnerability, disappointment maybe. And also a lack of connection and psychological safety, the physical distancing is taking its toll. We all know that change is ever present. But how can we be a driver for positive change? If we want more happiness in our team or organisation, change is necessary. In this workshop we discuss how you can be the driver of that change by taking 3 steps:
We talk about what you can do yourself to build a culture of happiness and well-being in your organisation. The scientific theory of behavioural design is our starting point, made practical and applicable, so you can start today, and be the change you want to see.
