As the founder of Happiness at Work, Aoife O’Brien uses data and research to help organizations attract, hire, and retain top quality staff. It’s all about finding the “right fit,” but how?

Covid has of course brought new challenges to workplace happiness, but with Aoife’s guidance, businesses and corporations can shift and maintain their focus on their people through education and meeting their needs. This not only boosts happiness but productivity, too. As Aoife says, “If you want to be happy at work, you’ve come to the right place.”
