How it works
Thriving employees perform better, are more engaged and stay in your organisation for longer Happiness at work is no longer an option, it's an imperative if you want to improve organisational performance, productivity and profitability.
The Thriving Talent scorecard assesses the happiness of your employees based on the science-backed Thriving Talent framework, looking at the foundation of Psychological Safety, 3 core pillars of Culture, Drivers, Capabilities, and the capstone of Leadership.
Once you answer the questions, you'll be sent a personalised PDF report with suggested practical ways to improve the conditions in your organisation so that employees can do their best work.
Globally, 85% of employees are disengaged
When engagement is low, the impact shows up in ways you can’t ignore:
- Performance declines, even in your top people
- High performers start looking elsewhere
- Productivity drops, but busyness increases
- Culture becomes inconsistent or even toxic
- Your best people stop advocating for the organisation
Losing your top talent can cost up to 200% of that person's salary to replace them.
What if you could identify exactly what’s driving disengagement in your team — and what to do about it?
Hi, I'm Aoife (pronounced EEFA) 👋
I'm the founder of Happier at Work, Irish Times bestselling of Thriving Talent, and the host of the award-winning Happier at Work® podcast.
Since 2018 I've been working with global organisations like yours to support their employees to thrive and to reach their full potential through my research-based Thriving Talent framework.
When working as a senior leader, I saw so much opportunity to improve how we work. Things like:
- People not fulfilling their potential
- Poor behaviours going unchecked
- The wrong people in the wrong roles
- Untrained leaders
I left my 20-year career to pursue a MSc in Organisational Behaviour to better understand the true drivers of (un)happiness at work, and devised my Thriving Talent framework during this time.
I have since worked with large global organisations like Meta, Ciena, Logitech, and HubSpot to drive better retention and engagement among their employees using this framework.
We’ve been working with global brands since 2019
Don’t just take our word for it, see what others have to say
We partnered with Aoife to facilitate our Women's History Month session, "Confidence for Growth," for Women@HubSpot in March 2026, and the results speak for themselves: a perfect satisfaction score and 80% of attendees leaving with something they could apply to their own career growth. What stood out wasn't just the numbers. Aoife created genuine psychological safety in a virtual room of 139 people. Attendees named the sense of community and peer recognition as highlights. Not a given in a session of that scale. She comes well-prepared, brings practical frameworks rather than theory, and knows how to make a large group feel like a small one. I'd recommend her without hesitation for any organisation looking to run meaningful, high-impact programming around career growth and belonging at work.

Aoife was a fantastic speaker at our recent staff event, speaking to staff on the theme of being "Happier at Work." We held a two-day, in-person event for around 300 employees, and Aoife engaged every single person in the room from the moment she stepped on stage. Her delivery was insightful, relatable, and full of practical strategies that our staff could take away and apply immediately. Aoife has a natural ability to connect with audiences and spark meaningful reflection, and the feedback we received from staff was overwhelmingly positive. Her passion for workplace wellbeing and her deep knowledge of the subject truly shone through. Aoife encouraged open conversations around values, engagement, and finding purpose in the workplace. Aoife’s session added real value to our event, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any organisation looking to inspire and empower their teams.

I have worked with Aoife on several occasions whilst working at two different companies and have very much enjoyed partnering with her. Aoife was extremely flexible and friendly when working with us and was happy to customise the Imposter Syndrome session to meet the goals and outcomes of our Thrive development program, including inviting our Ciena leaders onto the session and engaging them in the discussion so our participants could hear their experiences!

Her content was well curated and well thought, the delivery was powerful and her impact was very evident through the live discussion and on the spot quick thinking that Aoife showcased when answering audience questions. I am very confident in Aoife's abilities to adapt and address what is key for the organisations she collaborates with. Personally I love the warmth of her personality, her authenticity and genuine investment in all the pursuits she puts her energy in.
