A Newcastle-based small business is among the greatest “uplifting” organisations globally.
BU Happiness College was awarded the accolade after being selected for inclusion in Steve Pipe’s new book, The World’s Most Inspiring Businesses 2021.
“They are raising the bar for small businesses globally, inspiring an entire generation, and making a profound difference to the planet and to humanity,” the author said.
“And, one thing is really clear… the world would be a much better place if more organisations were like them.”
BU Happiness College had previously been recognised as the Social Enterprise of the Year in 2020 at the Hunter Business Awards.
And, it’s remained dedicated to its vision of “growing global happiness”.
Since its formation in 2017, BU Happiness College has provided “personal happiness coaching” to individuals throughout Australia and, due to public demand, begun offering “workplace happiness consulting” to help offices improve their culture and staff wellbeing.
“We are humbled and proud to be named as one of the world’s most inspiring businesses,” founder Declan Edwards said.
“We’ve always believed passionately that every business has the power to change lives.
“To make life better for our customers, teams and their families by the work we do and how we do it.
“And, also to make life better for people we may never meet and in places we may never travel to.
“We’ve always supported the wonderful work done locally for our community and we’re proud to be known as a social enterprise that is growing global happiness.
“But, now, we’ve incorporated even greater purpose and meaning into what we do, by also playing our part in helping to make the world a better place by achieving the UN Global Goals for humanity.
“So that we can end global poverty, tackle injustice and reverse climate change.
“It’s why we’ve set a target to help unlock 100, 000 positive impacts in those areas by 2030.
“It is also why we are proud of the 5,000 days of help we have already unlocked.”
To celebrate its achievement, BU Happiness College is offering complimentary connection sessions with one of its coaches for anyone who would like practical, down-to-earth support with their mental and emotional wellbeing.
Mr Edwards and the team are also proposing free workplace happiness scoping sessions to any organisation that wishes to invest into the performance and culture of their workplace this year.
