“Cultivating the art of happiness within your teams”

A program that brings together well-being, sustainable performance, and collective engagement.

Organizations need happy people…
How can happiness and sustainable performance at work go hand in hand?
This program is the result of extensive research, leading to a simple conclusion: a fulfilled and happy employee is an engaged, creative, and loyal one.

Recruiting and retaining talent is essential to ensuring an organization’s stability and success. Attracting and keeping qualified employees has become a major challenge today.

Investing in workplace well-being is no longer just about employee comfort, it is a true lever for competitiveness.

To address this, we have designed a workshop called “Encore Heureux”, inspired by Hugues Alard’s book, and structured around three modules:

  • Workshop “Encore Heureux: The Fresco”
  • Workshop “Encore Heureux: The Game”
  • Workshop “Encore Heureux: Integration”

This program was designed in partnership with Hédi Essadi, facilitator and professional coach.

We create spaces for clarity and transformation for leaders and organizations.

Spaces where you step back.
Where pressure softens.
Where you reconnect with a quality of presence essential for decision-making.

With inspiring experts,
in a demanding yet deeply human environment,
built on trust, care, and clarity.

Here, leaders develop a rare capability:
the ability to transform every experience—strategic, relational, or emotional—into a resource.

A resource to make sound decisions.
To bring people together with authenticity.
To lead with clarity, calm, and lasting impact.

“With ‘Encore Heureux – The Game’, we discover together that happiness is already here — it simply needs to be shared.”

The story behind “Encore Heureux”

Born from the conviction of its co-creators, Hugues Alard and Hédi Essadi, that happiness is something we cultivate together, “Encore Heureux” is more than a game — it is an experience.

Each card from the “7 families of happiness” game, each question, each interaction guides you toward what truly brings happiness, both individually and collectively.

Playful yet insightful, it opens spaces for dialogue where laughter, emotions, and new ideas naturally emerge.

👉 A simple moment that will sustainably transform the way you communicate and collaborate.

  • What: a collective intelligence game that stimulates happiness, creativity, and meaningful conversations.
  • Benefits: enables individuals and teams to reconnect with what makes them happy, open new perspectives, and strengthen relationships.
  • Differentiation: unlike a traditional board game or standard team-building tool, “Encore Heureux” is designed to be playful, introspective, and transformative, aligned with The Happy Rise philosophy: combining performance with sustainable well-being.

👉 Positioning: “The game that reveals and amplifies the power of shared happiness, serving both people and organizations.”

Who it’s for

a) Companies and organizations

  • SMEs and startups (8–50 employees): looking for practical tools to strengthen team cohesion and improve internal dynamics.
  • HR leaders and managers in large organizations: seeking original solutions to boost engagement and reduce turnover.
  • Mission-driven companies and purpose-led organizations: naturally aligned with values of meaning, impact, and well-being.

How does it work?

Pick a card — a question, a situation, or a challenge related to happiness.
Share — each person expresses their feelings, stories, and perspectives, guided by a facilitator-coach.
Connect — authenticity builds trust, and conversations unlock energy and creativity.

👉 No winners or losers: everyone leaves with greater calm, stronger connections, and more joy.

Hedi Essadi Coach

Reconciling sustainable performance and well-being is no longer optional; it is a strategic necessity for any organization that cares about its long-term future: 

Reduce stress and absenteeism: A healthy work environment supports mental well-being and helps limit the risk of burnout.

Retain talent: A harmonious workplace culture encourages employee loyalty and attracts top profiles.

Strengthen employer brand: Putting people at the heart of the organization enhances its attractiveness and reputation.

Increase productivity: Fulfilled employees are more motivated and high-performing, contributing to better profitability. A study from the University of Oxford showed that happy workers are 13% more productive than their less satisfied colleagues.

Boost engagement, innovation, and creativity: An environment that supports well-being encourages fresh ideas and effective collaboration.

Understand the links between the pursuit of happiness and social and environmental issues: Explore the impact of well-being on society and the planet to build a more responsible organization.

Deepen self-knowledge to become an active contributor to well-being within the organization: Develop self-awareness that allows each person to actively nurture a positive climate.

Overall objective of the workshop-training : Develop a balanced approach to work that integrates the principles of individual and collective well-being, while fostering sustainable performance and active employee engagement. This program aims to provide the knowledge, tools, and strategies needed to create a fulfilling professional environment, strengthen motivation and team cohesion, and optimize effectiveness within the organization.
