What you'll experience

Four weeks moving from what a culture of wellness looks like, to the evidence linking it to performance, to the two skills that carry it: resilience and emotional intelligence.

A Culture of Wellness

What one actually looks like on an ordinary Tuesday morning, not in a policy document.

The Performance Link

What the studies show about well-being, engagement and output, and the return on investment.

Managing Stressors

Identifying what actually drains you, and preparing for events you cannot predict.

Mental Resilience

Building the mindset that holds when things do not go the way you planned.

Emotional Intelligence

Acknowledging and labelling emotions so you understand them well enough to manage them.

Work-Life Balance

A realistic version of it, defined by you rather than borrowed from someone else.

Where most workplaces are

Well-being treated as a perk?

It gets budgeted as a benefit, which means it gets cut when things are hard, which is exactly when it matters. The research says it belongs in the performance conversation instead.

Illustration of well-being and engagement in the workplace
Initiatives without evidence

Yoga at lunch and a fruit bowl, with nothing measuring whether any of it changed anything.

You cannot make the business case

You believe well-being matters. Being asked to justify it in performance terms is where it stalls.

Balance keeps losing

Personal and professional life compete for the same hours, and one of them always wins.

The unexpected keeps landing

Covid changed how everyone plans. Preparing for unpredictability is now part of the job.

There is a return on investment

Week two is devoted to it: what the studies show about performance and well-being, whether people genuinely perform better when happier, and what the return looks like when an organisation implements well-being strategies deliberately.

What changes

Evidence-based, and applicable on Monday.

The course equips you with practical tools and insights from positive psychology to improve your own workplace well-being and effectiveness, and to build a culture of happiness and engagement around you.

Define well-being for yourself

Understand the fundamentals of workplace well-being, and what they actually mean in your role.

A realistic balance

Create a workable balance between personal and professional life rather than an aspirational one.

Tools for engagement

Discover what boosts workplace engagement and productivity, then initiate strategies that promote well-being.

A better mindset when it goes wrong

Techniques for overcoming challenging times at work, which is when the material earns its place.

Right now

Well-being is a nice-to-have.

  • Initiatives get launched and quietly abandoned
  • Nobody can say whether any of it improved anything
  • Stress is handled by absorbing it until you cannot
  • Emotions at work are something to keep out of the room
After four weeks

It is part of how the work gets done.

  • You know what a culture of wellness looks like in practice
  • You can make the case with evidence rather than conviction
  • You have a method for stressors and for events you did not plan for
  • Naming an emotion is a skill you use, not something you avoid

Who it's for

For team members, team leaders and business owners alike.

HR and people leaders

Week two gives you the evidence and the return-on-investment argument you keep being asked for.

Managers and team leads

A culture of wellness is largely set by whoever runs the team, whether or not they intend to.

Business owners

Small organisations feel the effect of engagement and retention faster than large ones do.

Anyone in a demanding role

The stress and resilience material in week three works regardless of who you report to.

Policy and public sector

Noof's background is government well-being policy, so the framing translates directly.

Complete beginners

No background in psychology needed. Everything is built from the ground up.

Inside the course

Four weeks, twenty lessons, six hours.

Built to fit around a working month: 20 short lessons with expert videos, daily tasks to apply each idea, six hours of on-demand learning and lifetime access to the videos and notes. A certificate of completion comes with it.

The curriculum

Four weeks, from culture to evidence to skill.

The order matters: define it, prove it, then build the two capacities that keep it going when the quarter gets difficult.

Week 1The Culture of Wellness

You arrive early with a coffee, ready to go. Your colleagues are smiling and everyone seems glad to be there. You have the tools and resources to do the work, your team and your leader believe in your ability, and it is a place that helps you learn and grow. That is what a culture of wellness at work looks like, and week one defines it properly.

Week 2How Does Well-Being Affect Performance

The link between the science of well-being and performance. Why should every organisation take care of employee well-being? What have the studies actually shown: can you perform better if you are happier, and can you be more engaged? What is the return on investment when well-being strategies are implemented at work, and how do you benefit from those findings yourself?

Week 3How to Manage Stress and Build Mental Resilience

How managing your stressors and building a resilient mindset promotes well-being at work. Covid changed how everyone approaches planning, and this week is about being prepared for the unexpected anyway: examining your sources of information, learning tactics for unpredictable events, and changing for the better.

Week 4Emotional Intelligence at Work

Experts in emotional agility emphasise acknowledging and labelling your emotions, so that you understand both them and the experience, and know how to manage them. The final week focuses on putting emotional intelligence to work, which is where the previous three weeks become usable day to day.

Still unsure? Email support@infijoy.com and we will answer.

Is this for individuals or for organisations?

Both. Noof's stated aim is to help build a culture that values well-being whether you are a team member, a team leader or a business owner. Individually you get tools for your own well-being and effectiveness; in a leadership role you also get the evidence and the strategies to change the environment.

Is there real evidence behind this?

Week two is devoted to it, covering what studies show about the relationship between well-being, engagement and performance, and the return on investment from workplace well-being strategies. Noof spent over a decade in evidence-based policy work, so the emphasis on evidence is not decorative.

How much time will I need?

Six hours of on-demand learning in total, across 20 short lessons over four weeks. Each lesson comes with a daily task designed to fit into a working day rather than compete with it.

What will I gain?

Across the four weeks you will:

  • Understand the fundamentals of well-being at work, and define what they mean to you
  • Create a realistic balance between your personal and professional life
  • Discover tools to boost workplace engagement and productivity
  • Examine your sources of information and learn tactics for unpredictable events
  • Build techniques for challenging times, and a better mindset when things go wrong
Can I start anytime?

Yes. Start whenever you are ready and work at your own pace. Lifetime access means you can return to a specific week when circumstances make it relevant again.

Do I need any prior knowledge?

None. No background in psychology, HR or management theory is assumed, and every concept is built from the ground up.

What qualifications does Noof Aljneibi have?

Noof M. Aljneibi holds a Master's in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and is a Certified Dare to Lead facilitator. She is a well-being and sustainable development advisor at the UAE Ministry of Community Empowerment, with over twelve years advancing evidence-based well-being policy. She previously served as Director of the Emirates Center for Happiness Research and Chief Happiness and Well-being Officer at UAE University, and as a Family Cohesion Expert for the UAE Ministry of Family. In 2021 she became the first female Arab recipient of the International Positive Psychology Fellow award.

How long do I have access?

Lifetime access to all twenty lessons and the accompanying notes, so you can return whenever you need a refresher.

Is this a substitute for HR or occupational health advice?

No. This is educational well-being content covering positive psychology and everyday working practice. It is not professional HR, legal or occupational health advice, and it is not treatment for burnout, stress or any other condition.

Begin today

Four weeks from now, you could make the case with evidence.

Join The Science of Happiness at Work and spend a month on what the research actually shows about well-being and performance, and how to put it to work where you are.
