Burnout culture, where ‘stressed’ is the normal state of being, is killing employee wellbeing and productivity. Employees want a better experience (EX), and if they don’t get it, they are willing to leave. Companies are spending millions on cracking the code for better EX, yet something is missing.

Sriram’s deep experience as a Productivity LEAP Expert helped him pin down the missing link at workplaces – Happiness! People spend 1/3 of their lives at work, so cutting happiness out of the equation is not a sustainable model. Sriram is bridging this gap, challenging age-old processes and skill-centred competency frameworks to bring Happiness@Work.

His novel, science-backed, human-first approach can radically transform the world of work, beating burnout and enhancing productivity. His structured interventions are designed to create an effective, engaging, experiential employee experience framework that individualizes the entire spectrum of interactions between the company and its workforce.
