Nic Marks: Building Happiness in the Workplace

Nic Marks, founder of Friday Pulse, is known as a ‘statistician with a soul’ due to his combination of analytical skills and the people skills he gained from his training as a psychotherapist. A wellbeing advisor to the Blair and Cameron governments, he now guides his clients on how to measure & improve workplace wellbeing, and in 2010, he presented a highly successful TED talk on this work. Nic’s company, Friday Pulse, was born of his passion for the science of emotions and enables organisations to track their employees’ wellbeing, which is particularly important in these challenging times. Nic joins me today to share his thoughts on what happiness means and how we express it. We discuss the importance of building happiness at work and how to measure and maximise it. He discusses why it’s beneficial to organisations and employees to focus on building a happy and positive workplace and how this forms the basis of personal resilience. Nic also reveals what leaders should do in the current pandemic crisis to improve the happiness of their teams and build resilience. “How you feel at work is important to team morale, to yourself, to the whole organisation.” Nic Marks This Week on The Power to Live More Podcast: What happiness truly means How the current crisis has impacted people’s happiness and resilience Why it is beneficial for organisations to have a happy workplace How Nic applies statistical principles to measure happiness The importance of having a learning mindset to overcome bumps in the road How he has adapted to working from home and prioritising his tasks The main drivers of happiness at work How he keeps learning, moving, and improving professionally Resources: Asana Milanote Slack Trello Spotify Connect with Nic Marks: Website Friday Pulse website – Nic is currently offering Friday Pulse sessions for free to companies between 50-100 people Book: A Happiness Manifesto Twitter LinkedIn Join the POWER to Live More CALM Membership Attention home-based coaches and consultants!
