Join us in celebrating another International Day of Happiness this March 20!
This year's celebration of the right to happiness focuses on our need to connect with one another. Because our happiness is part of something bigger.

IoF National Convention: Claire's Legacy - The tragic death of Claire Squires...JustGiving
On 22nd of April 2012, one of Samaritans' marathon runners died a mile from the finish line of the London marathon. In the days following there was an unprecedented public reaction to Claire's death with over 80,000 individual members of the general public logging onto Claire's JustGiving page and donating to Samaritans in her memory. The reaction and aftermath of Claire's death was never something that could have been planned for, but her story has impacted Samaritans enormously and provided the organisation with a lot of learning's and new ways of working, what we could have done differently, how we could have been more prepared, how should we communicate to our donors.
Through my many years of working with volunteers, I have met so many wonderful people who give so much of themselves. Here are the reasons why they so generously give of themselves.
Thank you for volunteering!

For Black History Month 2020, I produced a social media campaign for the Emory School of Medicine that, throughout the month, would highlight the achievements of not only Emory's black pioneers and barrier-breakers, but black history makers through the history of medicine. Although I've done some BHM posts in the past, this is the first time I've planned such a consistent campaign for an "awareness" event. And it was an ENORMOUS success. To me, this shows that this is the type of content audiences -- existing and potential -- want to see, crave to see. And this is fantastic because the med school, is putting a strong focus on diversity in recruitment, student body, patient care, faculty, etc. -- so the goals are expressed externally and audiences are broadened.
Finding your passion for service is an integral part in creating a fulfilling personal and professional life. “Service for the Soul” is an initiative started by Kimberly Sawyer, former Miss Wisconsin 2010, and current Manager of Analytical Services at Breakthrough®Fuel in Green Bay, WI. Along with serving as an advocate and spokesperson for multiple non-profit organizations, she dedicated her year of service as Miss Wisconsin to help others become life-long volunteers.
This presentation will inspire you to serve, to bring others along for the ride, and to incorporate it into your work environment as well. Volunteering not only benefits those you serve but it greatly benefits your personal health and overall well-being, your professional networking capabilities, and allows you to create a positive impact within your community. The key is to find a type of service that fits your schedule, matches your passions and goals as a volunteer, and makes you excited about giving back.

IBM Connect: Enabling Culture Change to Transform into a Social BusinessMeredith B. Singer
Traditional business hierarchy is not primed for social business. And social tools alone do not make a social business. People working in the open make a social business. At IBM, we’ve learned that transforming into a social business doesn't just happen because social tools are available. By blending traditional and emerging organizational change management techniques, IBM has created a unique point of view on enabling the required behavior and culture change. This presentation highlights the innovative approaches IBM uses to enable all employees to adopt new ways of working. It also provides tips for building executive commitment to your organization’s social business transformation.

Make this Labor Day about happiness!
This day is not about work.
On this day you’re not a worker/employee/employer/manager/assistant etc.
This day is about meaning and happiness.
Happiness is the new 8h goal.
A hundred and twenty years ago we rebelled against the injustice of a job taking over our lives. Not being able to enjoy our family, our homes and our passions made us stand up and demand more from life.
At that time it was about working hours. Today it’s about the meaning in our work, the happiness we have the right to aspire to.
Instead of going to work and waiting to go home every day, without anything remarkable happening, choose to make your work matter.
Maps matter. They are the frameworks that guide talent management practice. But if we use the wrong maps or don\'t know how to read them we will find it difficult to get to our destination.
On June 28th 2012, the United Nations General Assembly declared March 20th as the International Day of Happiness. Conscious that the pursuit of happiness is a fundamental human goal, they recognized the relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations.
We’re celebrating happiness not only as a basic human right, but as a way of living and working.
We’re happy when we’re pursuing a purpose, when we’re grateful for what we have and when we appreciate those around us.
Join us in celebrating happiness! www.gethppy.com
“When we contribute to the common good, we ourselves are enriched. Compassion promotes happiness and will help build the future we want”
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon -March 2013
This year we're partnering up with Action for Happiness to “RECLAIM HAPPINESS” - www.dayofhappiness.net
Happiness is often being used as a selling trick by companies and individuals who tell us that being happy comes at a cost.
We could point to many studies showing how wrong this is – lasting happiness does not come from what we consume, how we look or how much we earn.
Deep down we all know the things that make us happy. If only we could remind ourselves to appreciate those moments more often – and inspire others to do the same.
To celebrate the Day of Happiness 2014, we’re asking people around the world to share a genuine vision of happiness.
What made you happy today?
Tweet us @gethppy and tell us how you’re feeling this #happinessday!

Seven things men find irresistible in a womanBrightLove.org
Women have always longed to be noticed and to be appreciated for the special gifts and unique qualities they have. In today's world, it can sometimes be difficult if not impossible to stand out and get noticed.

The State of Employee Engagement in 2015 #Futureof #EmployeeEngagementHppy
Globally, employee engagement is declining, after hitting an all time low in 2014, with only 65,9% of employees engaged, according to Quantum Workplace.
Gallup U.S Daily estimates U.S. employee engagement at 32.1% for November 2015, with a current year-to-date average of 31.9%, despite the improving economy. The UK is also experiencing a worrying decline in employee engagement. According to Office for National Statistics figures, in 2015 UK workforces are 31% less productive than those of the US and 17% less productive than the rest of the G7 countries.
Today’s businesses face unprecedented challenges in engaging and retaining employees. This year’s employee engagement state is proof that we’re still a long way from answering the needs of a large portion of the workforce.
How can companies tackle this engagement crisis?

15 Employee Engagement activities that you can start doing nowHppy
Trying to find new employee engagement activities to boost productivity in your company?
We thought you might, now that these long summer days make it difficult to focus and give 110% at work. But we also thought this is a great time to plan a proper employee engagement strategy that focuses on long-term growth and retention.
Whether you’re simply browsing for some ideas that might boost up morale or if you’re putting down the final details for your HR strategy, here are 15 employee engagement activities that you should try!
Who am I? - Personal Development Framework for EmployeesHppy
This basic framework is a great resource to help you get to know your employees (or future employees) better.
Use it to find out what drives them as individuals, both on a personal level, as well as on a professional level. You can then compare the results of this framework with your company values and vision and see if there is a culture fit. See what drives their personal happiness and their workplace happiness.
Short, simple to use and very effective in assessing job-personality compatibility and, most importantly, in forming long term relationships!
Employee engagement is not an exact science. So far, the whole concept has been built on HR experience, positive phycology and business models that engage a company’s talent towards a productive culture of success.
At the core of employee engagement, similar to any company’s foundation, are some values. These values determine the why, how and what of that company, presumably.
In today’s economy, you’re building your company brand both through external as well as internal efforts. Playing two battlefields at the same time can prove to be tricky, that’s why some companies decide to focus their resources only on the external branding front. Meanwhile, they neglect their internal environment, failing to provide an engaging, challenging and appealing workplace.
Enters talent management. A grey area where an HR manager meets a Talent Manager/Chief Happiness Officer. Confusing? Yes. And if it’s confusing for the person actually holding that position, imagine what it does to the employees he or she is supposed to be engaging.
So, we came up with 25 ideas that can save a manager in need of some inspiration. Enjoy!
Happiness at work drives business objectives. Research shows that happy employees are more profitable, more customer-oriented and more productive. They also stand less chances of leaving that company. That’s why some companies have made happiness at work a way of doing business.
According to The Conference Board, Human Capital and Operational Excellence rank first in the Top Global Challenges in 2013. Retaining and rewarding the best employees is a major concern for more than half of HR professionals, along with the development of the next generation of corporate leaders. Employee turnover and employee motivation have an immense impact on revenues, on company culture and on its talent competitiveness in the marketplace.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a small company who just started to build a reputation or if you’re a top 40 company, your Human Capital is your biggest challenge in the upcoming years. It can make you or break you.
In this white paper we examine a very popular yet sometimes controversial subject: Happiness At Work. We’ll talk about some of the latest HR trends, about employee engagement and how you can increase workplace happiness in 2014.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
