​On September 18, 2023, the International Week of Happiness at Work took centre stage, ushering in an initiative dedicated to raising awareness and enhancing the overall happiness experienced within our workplace. At the heart of this celebration was the collective goal to create a work environment that not only fosters joy but also encourages positive feedback and appreciation—a chance for every member of our organisation to actively contribute to a culture of happiness.

Wholehearted Participation:

Embracing the ethos of the International Week of Happiness at Work, our team at the Health Care Professionals Council (HCPC) demonstrated a shared commitment to well-being and happiness from the very beginning. Recogniding the intrinsic value of cultivating a positive work atmosphere, our passionate and compassionate workforce eagerly embraced the initiative, eager to play a role in promoting a workplace that is not only efficient but also enjoyable.

Inspiring Perspectives with Breandon Ward:

To kick off this meaningful initiative, HCPC extended a warm invitation to all employees for an insightful talk by Breandon Ward, a dedicated volunteer from the esteemed Action for Happiness organisation. Drawing from his professional experiences, Breandon Ward shared invaluable insights on how individuals and organisations alike can actively contribute to "Taking Action for Happiness."

Breandon Ward's talk served as a catalyst for thought, inspiring us to consider practical steps and approaches that can be implemented in our day-to-day work lives to enhance happiness and well-being. As passionate advocates for the welfare of our team, this talk reinforced our belief that a happy workforce translates to a happier workplace.
