Rebuilding workplace culture from the inside out

A movement for leaders who believe joy isn’t soft - it’s smart.

Burnout is boring. Disconnection is costly. Joy isn’t a luxury, it’s your most underused leadership strategy. Let’s change that.

The quiet epidemic nobody’s talking about

Welcome to Joy at Work, the practical, science-backed, slightly rebellious arm of The Joyful Rebellion. Here, I explore how joy can reshape leadership, revitalise culture, and spark creativity in even the most beige boardroom.

Workplaces are full of tired eyes, disengaged teams, and brilliant people running on empty. It’s not because they don’t care, it’s because they’ve been stuck in a system that treats joy like a bonus, instead of a basic need.

Here’s the truth:

  • Burnout is expensive.

  • Disengagement is contagious.

  • And joy? It’s the most cost-effective, high-impact leadership strategy you’re not using.

Most “culture reviews” feel like they were designed by a robot. A loooooong, soul-sucking survey. A few tick-box questions about policies, perks, and maybe “how often do you socialise with colleagues?”

A polite thank-you email.

And then . . . nothing changes. It’s no wonder most people treat them like a compliance chore and utter waste of time and energy.

But here’s the thing: you can’t fix what you don’t truly understand.

We’ve been obsessing over the wrong KPIs.

Quarterly profit, sales targets, productivity dashboards are the usual suspects. And yet, tucked quietly in the shadows, there’s a metric that could transform your bottom line faster than any of them.

It’s called joy. And yes, it’s measurable.

Why Workplace Joy Is Everyone’s Business, Especially in Visitor Experience

I’ve been quietly noticing something.

Something that started as a flicker . . . and has now become a full-on ache every time I visit one of my favourite places; a historic house, a beautiful estate, a charming garden, or a family-friendly attraction.

The buildings are beautiful. The experiences are meant to delight.

But the people?
