Innovation: Happiness workshop

Usage: Internal use (within the business)

Idea brief: The happiness workshop is a one-day program that promotes the joy and fulfilment of individual employees, resulting in improved morale and company performance.

Explanation for step 1

Reason for innovation: Many studies have found out that the break between long working days will improve the efficiency of an employee. So this workshop will be an important factor in promoting the overall well-being of the employees and organization.

Process involved in happiness workshop:

This workshop is a casual and more generic type of session that will not involve any particular agenda or schedule.

Only the date and time will be announced for the happiness workshop.

The coordinator/presenter of the workshop is a person, who is trained in human psychology, inner engineering, the art of communication and an out of box thinker.

He will create simple activities for the employees with respect to their personal and professional life in the past, present and future.

The main goal of the workshop is to make them feel satisfied in every possible way and rejuvenate their own sense of pride and happiness.

The explanation for step 2

Some of the activities include remembering everyone's achievement, whether it is small or big. Every employee is treated equally irrespective of their designations. For Eg: A CEO may have done a most profitable project in the company and the new join may have successfully cleared his induction training. These both are celebrated equally.

Another activity includes a calling session which allows the employees to call their parents or friends based on their interests. They can take us to speak with them without any interruption. It will ease their mind and bring joy to their heart.

Responsible activity identifies the most struggling employee and everyone tries to help with the problems faced by him with their own expertise. Helping 1 employee per month will become 12 per year. It makes the session more meaningful.

Finally, this innovation will bring more employee loyalty to the company, as the company cares mental well-being of its employees. Satisfied employees will always do more for the company. Also, the continuous progress of the happiness workshop will improve the growth of the company in many ways.
