Today’s Guest:
Today we’re talking to Jennifer Moss, who’s a researcher, Co-founder of Plasticity Labs, and a member of the Workplace Happiness Group at the United Nations Global Happiness Council. She is considered to be a Workplace Culture Expert and Thought Leader on the topic of happiness and emotional intelligence, and is author of the bestselling book Unlocking Happiness at Work.
In this conversation, Jen guides us through the seven traits that enable happy and high performing employees and offers simple happiness hacks any workplace can use to help improve people’s wellbeing. She also cautions us about the happiness inhibitors that can bring us unstuck and why being happy at work doesn’t mean avoiding stress or sadness.
