Fire Up Your Happiness

Mental wellbeing for organisations

For NHS Trusts, companies and public bodies. Matt’s workshops lift teams in three hours, and three-minute check-ins keep them there, while senior leaders see an anonymous picture of every team and the questions that matter for retention.

Why organisations choose it

Keep your people

Ask every team, anonymously, whether they can see themselves working here a year from now. Spot the slide early, and act before people leave.

Lift every team

One shared language, the Happiness Barometer, and Matt’s tools in every huddle. Leaders reply to their team each week, so people see something happen.

Show the difference

Before and after for every workshop, a trend for every team, and a season report for your board, with your own turnover and sickness figures alongside.

Why it works for teams

Feel good together. Lead better. Keep your people.

When a whole team goes through it together, the workshop becomes team building. The weekly check-in then tells leaders how the team is really feeling, and what they can do about it.

1

It builds the team

Teams share what lifts them, laugh together, and leave with one shared language: “Where are you on the Barometer?”

2

Leaders see how the team feels

Every week, the team’s anonymous Barometer and their answers to questions like “which niggle would make next week easier?”

3

Leaders know what to do

A suggested technique for the next huddle, a one-line reply so the team sees something happen, and a nudge to time big changes well.

4

Feeling good drives the work

How we feel shapes the quality of our thinking, our resilience, how we deal with stress, and our clarity and energy.

Where the cost of poor mental health falls, per employee per year in the South West

Deloitte, 2020. Most of the cost is people at work but not at their best, which is exactly where feeling good makes the difference.

The case for investing

Poor mental health costs far more than prevention.

Deloitte’s 2020 research found the most effective programmes are embedded over the long term, use technology to make taking part easy, and target support where it’s needed. That’s exactly how this one is built.

Questions leaders ask

Is it really anonymous?

Yes. Check-in answers are stored with the team and the week only, never with a name, email or exact time. Results only show once the week has closed and 10 or more people have answered. Personal reflections never leave the person’s phone.

How much time does it take staff?

The workshop is three hours. After that, the weekly check-in takes under three minutes, by email or on their phone.

Can it run online?

Yes. Matt runs the workshop live on Zoom, moving everyone through the workbook page by page together.

What will our information governance team need?

We’ll share how the data is stored, who sees what and how long it’s kept, so they can review it before your pilot.

Does it work for shift workers?

The check-in arrives on the day and time the team chooses and stays open all week, so people answer whenever suits their shift.
