Post 6. Workplace Activations: Dubai 30x30 Happiness Challenge
As a reminder: the Dubai 30x30 Happiness Challenge provides 30 daily, science-based strategies to raise happiness, with Playbooks for employees and HR. And if you haven't done so yet, order your HR and Employee Playbooks as soon as possible - October 31st arrives quickly!
Throughout the 30 days, workplace activities can be as simple or ambitious as you like. Examples include:
- Kindness Challenge – Teams log acts of kindness, with prizes for the most creative or impactful contributions
- Green Plant Exchange – Bring, adopt, or donate a plant at a shared table in partnership with a local nursery
- Team Highlights – Managers prompt weekly “three good things” recaps to celebrate wins and positive moments
- Pass the Lemon – In meetings, the “lemon holder” must find an optimistic angle on the topic at hand
- Volunteer Outings – Organize group activities tied to Dubai’s 30x30 do-good initiatives for extra happiness gains
- Connection Lunch – Company-sponsored lunch with conversation cards designed to spark new connections and ease loneliness
- Gratitude in Action – Encourage gratitude notes, short videos, or on-the-spot appreciation messages across teams
- Leadership Role-Modelling – Senior leaders share short videos demonstrating small happiness habits in their daily lives
- Community Co-Creation – Invite customers, partners, or community members to help design happiness into your products or services
Every activity is already scripted in the HR Playbook — all you need is to choose and adapt.
