Engagement & Belonging in the Workplace

Engagement & Belonging in the Workplace is essential for a fulfilling career and also for a business to successfully retain their employees.

Post Covid-19 lockdowns, employees have clarity on the type of job they want. Employee engagement has never been more important with full employment and a marked talent shortage in Ireland. People form the foundation of every organisation and it's worth spending the time in understanding the people in your organisation.

Aoife O’Brien is the founder of Happier at Work, a business with the mission to support organisations in retaining top talent. She is passionate about ‘fit’ and specifically how creating the right environment can help individuals to reach their full potential and support organisations to thrive.

Aoife partners with HR and business leaders to focus on four pillars: engagement and belonging; leadership equity; performance and productivity; and the future of work. She is a self-professed data nerd, with a 20+ year career in market research in the fast-moving consumer goods industry working with clients like Coca Cola, Unilever and Heinz to solve marketing problems using data analytics.

Aoife has been featured by several national media platforms and public speaking events talking about imposter syndrome, fit, employee engagement, productivity, and remote working. Her podcast, Happier at Work, features a combination of interview-based episodes as well as solo podcasting, and has 50,000 listens in more than 50 countries.
