5th international conference about happiness at work

Happiness@Work 2019

October 10, 2019, Prague Congress Centre 
(+ hands-on workshops take place on October 11, 2019)

More and more studies have shown that happiness at work is good for both employees and business.
Happier workplaces are more effective and less stressful, people change their jobs less frequently and have fewer absences which is a great benefit.

Inspiration and practical examples

The fifth international Happiness@Work Conference is the event with one prime objective: to change the world of work. Local and international scientists and leaders will present relevant studies as well as very specific examples from their own successful companies. We will present the reasons why to build human companies and you will take away the tools and ideas you can incorporate to your business and work immediately.

Meeting and connecting

In 5 years of existence, the Conference has become legendary thanks to it's unique atmosphere. Join us and network with more than 500 attendees - Leaders, Managers and HR Professionals. On the day of the event, the Happiness EXPO will be available to introduce the most recent and specific products and services that can help you with building succesfull human companies.

Conference topic

How to build "human companies" ready for the future.

We hear more and more about digitalization, robotization and acceleration of the world around us. One could think we will not need people for the jobs of the future. But the exact opposite is true. The importance of people will grow. Especially for what makes them human - creativity, emotions, relationships. At this year's conference we explain why should we focus on human side of work and what tools and processes can we use for that.

What to expect?

We are working hard on the program. News about speakers will appear here. In the meantime, we already know that 3 activities that you loved most last year will be ready again:

1. Happiness EXPO – services, products and tools which help implement the principles that we are trying to promote.

2. Hands-on workshops - one day after the conference, you will be able to discuss and practise everything that you heard about.

3. CEO Meetup - meeting for directors and company owners. Last year, the attendees met twice after the conference so there's always something to follow up on.
