The Happy Manifesto

"People work best when they feel good about themselves"

Henry Stewart

Our founder Henry Stewart published The Happy Manifesto back in 2013, and it outlines the 10 core principles that we believe create a happy workplace. It is the foundation of Happy’s award-winning culture as well as everything we do for our clients.

Since publication, The Happy Manifesto has helped thousands of leaders create happy workplaces based on trust and empowerment.

We offer all of Henry’s books as free downloads.
