ABOUT HENRY STEWART
Do your people feel like they need permission to make decisions? Are your managers overwhelmed, trying to control too much? Do you wish your organisation could be both a great place to work and a place that delivers results? It’s not your fault. Most leaders were never shown how to create cultures of trust and freedom. Many workplaces default to command and control, even though it stifles people and drags down performance. That’s where we come in at Happy. For 37+ years we’ve been helping CEOs, HR leaders, and L&D teams build truly happy workplaces. We create environments where people take ownership, make decisions, and bring out their best selves. What happens when you do this? Results. Real ones. We’ve been recognised as the #2 Best Workplace in the UK, 15th in Europe, and #1 Best Place for Women in the Great Place to Work Awards. We’ve consistently achieved a 98% engagement score (well above the 70% required for accreditation). And we recently won the Institute of Leadership’s Organisational Excellence Award. But numbers aside, what really matters is transformation. We help managers step back so their teams can step up. We don’t work with toxic organisations. We partner with leaders who are already on the road to happiness, and we help them accelerate. Why do I care so much? Because I once founded an unhappy workplace. It drained me, and I knew there had to be a better way. So I built Happy. This is a company that delights customers, fulfils its people, and proves that work can be joyful. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me on my bike, at the theatre, or even across the chessboard. These passions keep me grounded, curious, and always learning. And it’s these qualities that I bring to every client relationship. If you’re ready to explore what a happy workplace could look like for your organisation, let’s talk.
