6. About the workshop
• The Happiness Workshop is conducted in the form of a contest, where through a
variety of activities, on the basis of team work, creativity, and the H factor,
winners are chosen at the end.
• The activities are crafted in a way that they touch upon common workplace issues
and subtly makes the participants themselves find solutions.
• Through a shuffle format, every participant is given a chance to be a leader during
different activities throughout the workshop therefore ensuring holistic
participation.

8. Dancercise
Activity: Often, some employees don’t listen to seniors / clients, questioning every
action they are being made to take. Dancercise makes them understand how it is
important to sometimes just follow the leader.
Inference: Everybody should have the right to their opinion, but sometimes the wiser
opinion must be adhered to without questioning too much.

9. Teampiece
Activity: The bonding between the members of a team/ different teams may be weak
due to many factors. Teampiece brings participants together and makes them come
up with a masterpiece, enabling building of better bonds in the process.
Inference: It may not be the lack of talent, but the lack of coordination that may be
leading to lower efficiency. Building stronger bonds leads to better efficiency.

10. Puzzle Muzzle
Activity: When given a task, sometimes people tend to just start off without giving the
planning bit a considerable thought. Puzzle Muzzle tests team’s strategy skills and
finds out the most patient yet efficient team
Inference: Sometimes, in trying to do everything, nothing is accomplished. One needs
to prioritise instead and try to achieve what is doable.

11. Crideate
Activity: Marketing and sales as a function may be the responsibility of some, but at
one level, every employee needs to develop the ability to be able to pitch their idea
to others. Crideate makes the team members come up with innovative ideas to
create an ad and sell a product.
Inference: Its good to be good at one’s own role in the organisation, but learning other
tricks of the trade helps in overall growth of the individual and thus the
organisation.

12. Marshmallow Challenge
Activity: Challenges are as easy or difficult as we want to make them look. With the
right amount of confidence, skills and strategy, we can out perform our own
expectations.
Inference: Creativity lies at the core of all business functions. The simplest to the most
complex problems can be solved through innovative ideas and solutions.

13. Office Charades
Activity: Miscommunication and communication gap causes lots of issues at the
workplace. We try to fill it by inducing a unique gap, in turn trying to resolve
communication barriers
Inference: Silence is golden, but expressing things at the opportune time is the best
thing to do.

14. Human Chess
Activity: In a unique game of chess, participants are made to test their strategy skills
along with the courage to sacrifice their interests for the team’s overall benefit.
Inference: Team Work is not simply about coordinating and surging ahead, but about
lot of compromises and sacrifices as well.

15. Jenga
Activity: Jenga’s the test of confidence, analysis and ability!
Inference: Being over confident and undermining yourself, both can turn out
to be harmful for you! Try to be a good analyst, and then move ahead.

16. Power Chairs
Activity: Simulating the ‘survival of the fittest’ theory here by making people
literally run for power.
Inference: With ever increasing competition, people really need to be on their
toes these days, one can’t afford to be complacent or inefficient.

17. Rely on Ally Race
Activity: The blame game is a common feature at the workplace. People readily put
the fault on others for any failure. The same is subtly addressed through the ‘rely
on ally’ race.
Inference: Sometimes, you end up getting happy or sad because of others. When you
accept it when it makes you happy(victory), lets accept it when it makes us sad as
well(loss)

18. Have less, Do more
Activity: Lack of resources/ funds are often cited as excuses for things not happening
at work. Through this activity, participants are made to think differently and change
their perspective.
Inference: You can do great things with even limited resources. You need to just make
use of the most important resource at such times – common sense

19. Who Am I?
Activity: A lot of employees tend to get lost in the crowd in an organisation. This could
be because of their shy nature/ inhibition to speak up/ fear of seniors. ‘Who Am I’
gives each participants their few minutes of fame and makes them come out of
their shell.
Inference : Everybody is important and has something to express, all they may need is
a platform that allows them to do the same.

20. Meditation
Activity: Work will always keep getting more taxing, but if we learn ways to tackle
stress, any amount of work can be handled effectively. There is no better way to
deal with the same than meditation.
Inference : True relaxation can only be experienced through meditation. Connecting
with one’s inner self after a hard day’s work helps one be at peace.

21. Spread Smiles
Activity: The negativity at the workplace can only be negated by infusing positive vibes
in the atmosphere. Through ‘Spread Smiles’, people literally go around making
others happy.
Inference: We get what we give. The more positive we are at the workplace, the more
happiness we will receive.
