    A more useful question

    What is work asking of your people?

    A wellbeing initiative cannot do the work of understanding workload, relationships and the pressures people take home.

    The Ministry of Happier brings structured enquiry and participatory experiences to the same table. Frven Lim works with organisations to identify a sensible starting point—whether that is a culture audit, a workshop, or more focused support for leaders and teams.

    Where to begin

    Start with the need you have. The steps are optional.

    The research

    A business case for paying attention to your people

    How do we understand our people’s experience—and turn that understanding into decisions and action?

    University of Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre researchers analysed around one million employee surveys across 1,782 publicly listed US companies and found higher employee wellbeing associated with greater profitability and company value.

    This is a correlation, not proof of cause; the surveys were crowdsourced and cover US listed firms only. The study does not evaluate or validate our services, and no return is implied. Source: De Neve, Kaats and Ward (2024), Working Paper 2304, doi.org/10.5287/ora-bpkbjayvk.

    Fractional Chief Wellbeing Officer / companies with more than 50 employees

    A 90-day pilot that moves from understanding to action.

    Frven acts as a part-time senior voice on workplace wellbeing, helping leaders interpret what they see, choose priorities and follow through. Start with discovery and a scoped 90-day pilot, with the wellbeing audit as an onboarding step; ongoing quarterly support is optional. You can also buy a workshop directly.

    For the questions beneath the survey

    Understand first. Intervene with care.

    The workplace wellbeing and culture audit uses the Hope vs Hunger framework to look at inner resources and current burdens. The consultancy can consider those signals alongside your existing operational and retention data, without treating a wellbeing measure as a clinical diagnosis.

    The audit and consultancy can be delivered online to organisations worldwide. Appropriate confidentiality and data-governance boundaries are agreed before it is introduced.

    Workplace wellbeing and culture consultancy FAQs

    What is fractional Chief Wellbeing Officer support?

    Frven works alongside HR as a part-time senior wellbeing lead for companies with more than 50 employees. A scoped 90-day pilot combines understanding employee experience, agreeing practical actions and reviewing progress.

    Is a wellbeing audit the whole engagement?

    No. The Hope vs Hunger baseline is an onboarding step within the fractional role, informing priorities for action and review. A standalone workplace wellbeing and culture audit can also be scoped separately.

    Can we book a team workshop without a pilot?

    Yes. SweetSpot and HappierMusic workshops can be commissioned directly without an audit or pilot. In-person workshops are available in London and Singapore; audit and consultancy support is available online worldwide.
