Employee well-being and culture programs in Istanbul
We are based in Kalamış, Kadıköy, and work with international and Turkish companies across Türkiye, at your office or online, in English or Turkish.
Happy Work Studio is an Istanbul-based boutique agency that designs employee well-being, happiness and company-culture programs for companies in Türkiye. The work runs in four tiers (Diagnose, Align, Build, Sustain) plus a library of 41 seminars, workshops, coaching programs and corporate events, delivered in English or Turkish, on site or online. Clients include companies in FMCG, healthcare, finance, industry, logistics, technology and retail.
Who we work with
HR directors, People & Culture leads, internal communications teams and country managers. Many of our clients are international companies whose global culture needs to land in their Turkish teams; others are Turkish companies building a culture for hybrid and international teams.
Companies we have worked with include Danone, Roche, Bayer, Allianz, MetLife, Ford Otosan, Michelin, CMA CGM and Boyner.
How a program usually runs
- Diagnose: a Well-being & Culture Check-up with an employee survey, leadership interviews and focus groups.
- Align: a Values Alignment Journey of four workshops that turns company values into everyday behavior.
- Build: seminars, workshops and multi-session programs for employees and leaders.
- Sustain: a 12-month Well-being Partner retainer with pulse checks and a yearly calendar.
Many companies start with a single seminar or workshop and move to a full program once they see how their teams respond.
