1 IN 5

People are no longer tolerating toxic workplaces. SHRM reports, 1 out of every 5 employees will leave their job due to the culture. That’s millions leaving toxic environments behind!

HAPPY

Happy people perform better, are more collaborative, and productive. However, new data shows that employee happiness is lower now than it was at the height of the pandemic. 

Research shows that 57% of employees experience negative side effects from work-related stress, which often leads to burnout. Prioritizing joy helps alleviate this, creating healthier and sustainable workplaces.

Joy isn't just about how you feel—it’s about the conditions that allow you & your work to thrive

Joy at work isn’t just nice-to-have; it’s the secret to a fulfilling life.

It may sound cliché, but life is too short to dread your work!

 

We’ve inspired many people to believe that work should be more than just a means to an end; it should be nourishing.

I’m India, a firm believer that work should be a source of joy, not anxiety. I’ve spent years helping organizations and change-makers improve their equity practices and organizational culture. In that time, I realized there was a crucial element missing: Joy! This inspired me to create The Joy Collaborative.

 

Joy isn’t just a feel-good concept; it’s a proven strategy for thriving teams, fulfilled leaders and business owners, as well as a better quality of life. I’m on a mission to transform how we work and inspire people like you to boldly chase joy in every aspect of their life.  

Joy Breaks

Joy isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity

Carve out time for fun and connection. You’ve earned it, and your future self will thank you

A Joy break is a break you take during your day to do something that brings you joy. Why? Because our society is obsessed with being "on" and always being productive. You know what's on the other side of all of that hard work? More hard work. So we're no longer waiting, we're making time for joy now. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is pause, water your soul, and let joy take root.

We’re not settling for anything less than joy

Kind words from previous clients 
“I was beyond grateful for The Joy Collaborative’s workshop. Each topic was effortlessly connected and tied in with the overlying theme, coming together to display the importance of finding joy in our daily lives and recognizing when it's time to redirect our lives to find that joy again. All while being taught using personal experiences in a safe environment and facilitated with an open mindset.”
