Happiness at work
Despite a large body of positive psychological research into the relationship between happiness and productivity, and the development of corporate psychometric tools to assess factors such as personality profile and feedback (e.g. 360° feedback), the two fields of study have never previously been combined to produce a psychometric tool specifically designed to measure happiness in the workplace.
The iPPQ is the first and only example of this type of tool to date.
Research
The tool was developed following the development of a model of workplace happiness and research into the relationships between employee happiness, overtime, sick leave and intention to stay or leave, conducted by Dr Laurel Edmunds and Jessica Pryce-Jones.
In addition to the academic articles cited above, iOpener's research into happiness at work has received widespread press coverage from publications including The Sunday Times, Jobsite, Legal Week and Construction Today.
