Nic will be sharing his thoughts on the benefits of valuing happiness at work in Desso’s showroom during Clerkenwell Design Week on Tuesday 19th May at 6pm. In his talk he’ll be exploring the idea that miserable people do miserable work and – the opposite is also true – happy, passionate people deliver great results. Following extensive research, he’ll discuss the five most important ways that businesses can increase the happiness of their workforce: Be fair, Empower, Connect, Challenge and Inspire.
Described by Director Magazine as one of the Top 10 Original Thinkers, Nic is highly regarded for his award winning ‘Happy Planet, the first global measure of sustainable wellbeing. Anyone interested in attending the talk on 19th May can book a place at desso.co.uk. Questions for Nic on the evening can also be shared with Desso on Twitter @Desso_uk in the run up to the talk.
Exploring the happiness, mindfulness and wellbeing theme further during Clerkenwell Design Week, Desso has invited London-based mindfulness practitioners, CalmWorks, to hold two workshops in the showroom.
