research
We have spent five years researching, driving and building a body of empirical evidence which shows that increased performance is closely connected with happy employees. And we define happiness at work as a mindset which allows employees and their organizations to maximize performance and achieve their potential.Our world-class in-house research team has found innovative ways of assessing what enables people to consistently deliver measurable and sustainable results. Results which are important both for themselves and their organizations.
Our research aim is to do more than tell you what others already know. Working to the highest academic standards, we create knowledge and translate that into practical audit and assessment tools.

What’s the output of our research?
Our research department has helped us to develop the following:
- iPPQ: the iOpener People and Performance Questionnaire is an employee, team and organizational audit tool. Its purpose is to help respondents monitor, manage and develop performance and levels of happiness at work. To take the iPPQ please click here. To view a personal report click here.
- iCAT: the iOpener Communication Assessment Tool is an audit tool which assesses actual versus desired personal communication ability. View sample report.
- i360A: this leadership development tool examines a leader’s capacity to build and maintain teams which perform and flourish by maximizing happiness at work.
- iHHT: the iOpener Happiness Hotspot Tool: this assesses who in a network adds to and who detracts from the performance and happiness of others (under development).
Meanwhile we are also working on studies to show the long-term aggregate effect of our work.
