Does happiness and engagement at work lead to peace?
In this episode of Peace is a Choice, I’m joined by Matt Phelan, Co-Founder of The Happiness Index. Matt leads the strategic direction of the business, and he’s also the founder of The Happiness and Humans Community, host of The Happiness and Humans Podcast, and author of Freedom To Be Happy: The Business Case for Happiness and The Happiness Index: Why Today’s Employee Emotions Equal Tomorrow’s Business Success.
Together, Matt and I explore the connection between employee happiness and inner peace. We talk about how The Happiness Index came to be, what really drives happiness at work, and why psychological safety and strong relationships matter so much. We also dig into the power of calm leadership, what truly motivates people, and the courage it takes to face uncomfortable truths in organisations.
