INTERNATIONAL DAY OF HAPPINESS: BE MINDFUL. BE GRATEFUL. BE KIND.

International Day of Happiness falls on Monday 20th March, and this year the theme is “Be mindful. Be grateful. Be kind.”

The UN first established this day in 2012. However, the UN started its happiness mission in 2011, aiming to create “a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes the happiness and wellbeing of all peoples”.

Here at Sodexo Engage, we give much attention to workplace happiness and equity. Through our Social Value Pledge, we’re committed to leading the way in improving the quality of live for society and our planet focusing on four social impact pathways: People, Planet, Places, and Partners.

Since we produce our content as a resource for HR professionals, we will explore how this year’s International Day of Happiness theme applies to the workplace.

In this blog, we take a look at: being mindful, being grateful, being kind, and building a culture of happiness with Sodexo Engage.
