Picture a workplace where people don’t just clock in—they light up. Where attrition drops below 5%, referrals climb past 30%, and engagement scores hit 9+. That’s not a pipe dream—it’s an actualised workplace. At Work Happy, we’re on a mission to make that real, step by step.
We’re often pegged as “just another EAP provider.” But we’re so much more. We’re about turning workplace challenges into positive change, from the ground up. Here’s how we see it—and how we can support you along the way.
Think of workplace wellbeing as a pyramid. Each layer builds on the last, and we’ve got the tools to guide you from surviving to thriving.
1. Foundation: Safe & CompliantIt all starts here—HR policies, Work Health & Safety (WHS), and critical incident management. It’s the legal and moral must-have: a psychologically safe workplace. Yet, two-thirds of Aussie workers with mental health issues don’t tell their employer (Productivity Commission, 2020). Without that openness, leaders are flying blind.
Our tailored WHS frameworks and critical incident support ensure you’re not just compliant—you’re proactive. Consider us your Work Wingmen, we help you spot risks early.
2. Reactive: BOOST EAP – Support When You Need ItWhen mental health hits a rough patch, you need a response. That’s where BOOST EAP comes in—not just a lifeline for tough times, but a growth-focused programme. It’s critical—1 in 4 Aussies face a mental disorder each year—and the cost of ignoring it is steep: the average psychological injury claim is $362,000 (AUS Govt. Comcare).
BOOST EAP isn’t your standard fix-it tool. With highly qualified clinicians, curated coaches for finance, nutrition, and more, it’s there for those short, snackable chats when you need them—ready to grow with you, not just react.
3. Leadership: Manager DevelopmentHere’s where the shift happens. Most managers get promoted because they’re ace at their job, not because they’re naturals at leading people. Without skilled leaders, you’re stuck firefighting. With 55% of Australians unhappy at work (Seek Work Happiness Index 2024), disengaged managers only make it worse.
Every Work Happy annual programme includes 15-minute manager support sessions—think leadership coaching in bite-sized moments. It’s us walking the talk, investing in your leaders with practical tools to inspire and deliver. This is where fires stop, and trailblazing starts.
4. Proactive: Thriving People The top is where happiness lives—investing in mindset, performance, and emotional intelligence to unlock potential. An actualised workplace doesn’t just hold onto talent; it expandsit. Imagine 30%+ internal mobility and glowing reviews on Seek or LinkedIn.
Our proactive wellbeing programmes—like resilience frameworks and EI training—build on BOOST EAP’s growth mindset. With integrated leadership coaches, we turn vision into action, helping your people thrive as the market charges ahead.
We’re not here for quick fixes. We partner with you across the whole journey—from nailing the basics to building a workplace people rave about. Every workplace is different, just as we’re all uniquely different as humans. Our approach as your partner is personal, tailored, and enables you to craft the right solution for your business with our tools and qualified clinicians—starting with BOOST EAP and growing from there. Our goal? Low turnover, high trust, and a culture that shines, whether it’s a 9+ engagement score or positive buzz on Glassdoor.
But it’s not just us—it’s you. What does “Work Happy” mean to you? Is it stronger foundations, better-supported managers, or a push for proactive growth? Please share your thoughts below—I’d love to hear what’s on your mind.
(And watch this space… we’re working on something big to certify workplaces as “Work Happy” and it is going to be about what really counts—no spoilers yet!)
