Employee analytics firm favoured by Shell and Inmarsat upsizes on Southbank

The Happiness Index, the tech company utilising data analytics to measure employee satisfaction, is to relocate to new premises on the back of a year of ‘significant’ growth.

Moving from its current base at WeWork Moorgate, the tech firm has upsized to new premises at 133 Park Street on Southbank after growing its team four-fold following a string of big-name contract wins last year.

The likes of Shell, EY and Inmarsat have all adopted The Happiness Index’s analytics platform which promotes employee engagement and cultural alignment through ongoing satisfaction feedback thanks to its ‘pulse technology’.

Filling out their new HQ will be a raft of new hires, which includes onboarding executives, account managers along with sales, marketing and development employees, bringing total headcount to 14.

Expounding on the benefits of the company’s new surroundings, Chief Executive, Tony Latter, commented: “Bankside is an excellent location for us – it’s a buzzing community with a focus on wellbeing for its residents and workers which suits our business perfectly.”

The Happiness Index was officially launched back in 2014 by Co-Founders Tony Latter, Chris Hyland and Matt Phelan, focused on providing a technological solution to boost employee happiness and engagement.

Since then its small team has found significant success with a burgeoning big name client list spread across 69 countries in 9 different languages. The firm was also recognised as one of the UK’s most disruptive brands in Salesforce and Marketing Week’s Top Disruptive brands list in 2016.

Touching upon the business’ success, Latter added: “We have enjoyed a fantastic period of growth which is testament to the great people we employ. We’re excited to be creating jobs and growth through acquisition of some fantastic new clients all of which are dedicated to making their workplaces exceptional.

“Employee engagement is becoming an increasingly important topic for businesses owners who are serious about achieving sustained growth in the future and we’re growing as a result.”
