HAPPIER AT WORK - Key Persons


Aoife O'Brien - Founder

Job Titles:
  • Founder
My name is Aoife O'Brien, the founder of Happier at Work (formerly Empowerment Coaching). I have 20+ years of identifying and solving business problems for global organisations such as Unilever, Mars, Coca-Cola and Kraft-Heinz. As a results-driven and curious professional with an aptitude for solving problems using data, I support HR and business leaders of medium-sized organisations to improve productivity, drive better engagement and reduce attrition. Having worked in several global companies over the duration of my career, I have witnessed first-hand the impact of poor hires, the frustration of misaligned values, and of not satisfying employees' needs and managing their expectations. All of this proved as a great learning for me - if you want to get the best out of your employees, you need to put people first and create an environment where they can thrive. This results in a happier workplace and increased productivity, engagement and retention - ultimately impacting on your bottom line. I have a MSc in Work and Organisational Behaviour from Dublin City University, and am a member of the CIPD.
