The Happiness Index - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

The Happiness Index helps organisations understand why employees leave or stay, what drives productivity and how workplace culture impacts business performance.

We combine a neuroscience methodology, 400 million+ proprietary data points and global benchmarking insights from The Global Workplace Happiness Report to help organisations build happier, higher-performing workplaces.

From growing businesses to global enterprises, our employee engagement platform, global benchmarking, performance consultancy and bespoke reports help leaders understand their people, identify opportunities and turn cultural insights into action.

**Employee engagement platform**

Understand how your people think and feel with our neuroscience-based employee engagement platform.

Our flagship Happiness Index Survey uses 24 questions across eight core themes to measure the drivers of workplace happiness and engagement. Choose from 20+ additional surveys covering onboarding, exit interviews, wellbeing, mental health, racial equity and mergers and acquisitions, or create your own.

Surveys are available in 20 languages and can be distributed through email, shareable links and kiosk access, making it easy to reach office-based, remote and frontline employees.

Our real-time analytics dashboard transforms anonymous employee feedback into actionable insights, with features including:

- **Advanced filtering:** Explore results by team, location, demographics and employee lifecycle stage.

- **Global benchmarking:** Compare your results by industry, organisation size and geography.

- **Sentiment analysis:** Understand the emotions behind employee feedback.

- **Cross-theme analysis:** Discover connections between different aspects of workplace culture.

- **Heatmaps:** Identify strengths, challenges and areas requiring attention.

- **AI-powered insights:** Get data-led recommendations to guide action planning.

- **Action planning:** Translate feedback into practical improvements.

A minimum five-respondent reporting threshold helps protect employee anonymity.

Flexible manager dashboards, role-based permissions and organisational hierarchies ensure leaders access relevant insights. CSV uploads and custom API integrations help synchronise employee data with existing HR systems.

**Global benchmarking**

Discover how your workplace culture compares with organisations around the world.

Our proprietary global dataset and The Global Workplace Happiness Report provide valuable benchmarks to help you understand where your organisation stands, identify gaps and prioritise improvements.
