Alexander Kjerulf, happiness at work champion, author, crossfitter, swing dancer, and aspiring ukuleleist (uker?) shares the joys of a midlife done wrong.
Alexander Kjerulf is the founder of Woohoo Inc and is the original Chief Happiness Officer. Laurence and I first met Alex over 6 years ago when we went to a conference in Denmark for innovators trying to change the world of business. He's an amazing guy with an infectious positive energy. When we were over there he invited us to dinner and it was my first experience of Cards Against Humanity. I can't remember ever laughing so much. Alex's mission is to bring more happiness and positivity to the world of work. He does this by giving talks and running workshops for companies all across the world. He's written a number of books and built up a network of positivity professionals who use his materials and resources to impact more businesses. However, after doing this work for 16 years Alex has decided to take a break. He's found himself having less energy and motivation and is less happy at work, which isn't a great place to be for a Chief Happiness Officer. Listen to this episode to find out how Alex started the business, what it was like in the early days, how it's grown and why in 2020 he'll be shutting it down for at least 6 months and maybe, forever.

Employers need to “take happiness seriously”. This was the main takeaway from the BCO’s final session at its 2019 conference in Copenhagen. EG spoke to Woohoo’s chief happiness officer Alexander Kjerulf to find out just how workspaces can make people happier.
Alexander er stifter af Arbejdsglæde nu og er kendt som en af verdens førende eksperter i arbejdsglæde. Vi har en forrygende samtale om hvad arbejdsglæde gør for bundlinjen, effektiviteten og ikke mindst hvordan arbejdsglæde kan være et godt strategisk valg for virksomhederne og medarbejderne. Så hvordan skaber vi mere arbejdsglæde og hvem har egentlig ansvaret for arbejdsglæden - er det chefen eller dig selv? Resultater og relationer er omdrejningspunktet. Alexander kommer med gode eksempler, forslag og reelle tiltag som I frit kan nyde godt af, bare ved at lytte med. Episoden er optaget slut 2018
Arbejdsglæde er en flygtig følelse. Den kommer og går, og er noget andet end job tilfredshed, men hvordan får vi mere af den? Hør med når vi har besøg af Alexander Kjerulf, stifter af Arbejdsglæde.nu, forfatter til fem bøger og hyppig foredragsholder om arbejdsglæde. Alexander og hans kollegaer har netop holdt foredrag i land nummer 50! I episoden deler Alexander en masse spændende cases og fletter viden og forskning om arbejdsglæde ind undervejs. Emner som vi kommer igennem i denne episode: Forskellen mellem arbejdsglæde og tilfredshed med sit arbejde. Hvad arbejdsglæde betyder for vores liv? (hint: meget!) Arbejdsglæde er en forventning i Danmark, men direkte omvendt andre lande. Hvad de positive og negative historier gør forskelligt. Tydelig forskning, som viser den mest effektive måde at opnå mere arbejdsglæde. Hvem er ansvarlig for medarbejderens arbejdsglæde? Sammenhængen mellem arbejdsglæde, motivation og produktivitet. Forskningens bud på én ting man kan gøre for at få mere arbejdsglæde.
Alexander Kjerulf has been working to create happier workplaces for over 15 years. He is the founder and Chief Happiness Officer of Woohoo inc and one of the world's leading experts on happiness at work. He's also written two books - Leading With Happiness and Happy Hour Is 9 To 5. In this episode of The Melting Pot he talks to Dominic Monkhouse about why happiness at work is so important, and what makes us happy. It isn't those perks like pool tables and free coffee, it's results and relationships. Alex talks more about that, plus why company visions, praise and recognition are so important too. As well as this podcast you can also pick up some great tips from Alex's TEDx talk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq81wx6aPbA (which is mentioned in the podcast).
Workplace happiness has a direct link to a company’s bottom line. And few people know how to cultivate happy employees better than WorkHuman 2018 speaker Alexander Kjerulf, founder and chief happiness officer at Woohoo inc.
“Hvis du aldrig siger nej er du ikke en medarbejder – så er du en slave.” Kan du sige nej på jobbet? Det er nemlig ifølge arbejdsglædeekspert, Alexander Kjerulf, en af nøglerne til at opleve frihed og arbejdsglæde i arbejdslivet. Han vil derfor gerne have flere af os danskere til at sige nej på jobbet. Når der bliver stillet urimelige krav, når vi bliver behandlet dårligt eller når vi bliver bedt om at gøre noget som føles forkert – så skal vi have modet til sige fra. Du får i denne podcast konkrete værktøjer til at blive bedre til at sige nej. Alexander Kjerulf er stifter af Arbejdsglæde.nu, en af verdens førende ekspeterter i arbejdsglæde og har holdt hundredevis af foredrag i over 30 lande.
Hvordan finder man arbejdsglæden? Hvor sidder den? Hvad kan du selv gøre for at styrke den i din hverdag? Lyt med og lad dig inspirere af én af verdens førende eksperter på området, Alexander Kjerulf, Chief Happiness Officer fra arbejdsglæde.nu (VI beklager den lidt forringede lydkvalitet)
I couldn't start my journey anywhere else in the world than Denmark - according to many charts the happiest country in the world. And the best person to talk about happiness at work in Denmark is Alexander Kjerulf - author of Happy hour is 9 to 5 (http://amzn.to/2bgc92v) and founder of Woohoo Inc. which is teaching happiness at work in companies like IKEA, LEGO, Shell or TATA. We've talked with Alex about the basics of happiness at work: What does it mean, why is it important in today's world but also what can each of us do to be happier at work...
Alexander Kjerulf (pronounced a little like care-oolf.) is the founder and Chief Happiness Officer (CHO) of Woohoo inc and one of the world’s leading experts on happiness at work. He is an author and speaker, presenting and conducting workshops on happiness at work at businesses and conferences in over 30 countries. His clients include companies like Hilton, Microsoft, LEGO, IKEA, Shell, HP and IBM. Alex was "officially" introduced to me by Stephen Shario, a guest from an earlier episode of the feisworld podcast. Long before I found out that Alex is a connection of Stephen's, I had already been reading Alex's blog called The Chief Happiness Officer Blog. A more recent article I loved is called "Why every company should have a CHO?" Studies show that happy employees are more productive, more innovative, more motivated, more energetic and more optimistic. They are also less sick, stay with the company longer and make the customers more loyal. For those reasons (and many others) happy companies make more money. Alex owns the space of Happiness at Work. I find this approach inspiring, intelligent and intriguing - I was intrigued! There are 120 million people with full time jobs in the U.S. In 2010, Business Insider reported that 80% Hate Their Jobs, and there are numerous articles asking you the question - should you choose between a passion or a paycheck? If we set aside people who are generally depressed and miserable no matter where they go (I hope this is a relatively small percentage of the world population), there is still a significant percentage of the workforce that aren't motivated to go to work for a variety of reasons. Alex suggests that it is not without pitfalls but: Having a great CHO, a person somewhere in the organization who has the skills, the knowledge and the passion to help create a happy workplace and who has the unconditional support of top management makes perfect sense. It will not only make employees happier, it will also most likely make the company money.
