ROLE OF CHO

A Chief Happiness Officer (CHO) is an executive manager or leader who has a special qualification, skill and duty: he/she believes happy employees make better employees. Whilst these are the most common responsibilities used to describe the CHO position, there are many more areas where happiness matters.

The primary duties of a CHO include:

• Analyzing the level of happiness in the workplace – this involves interviewing employees to gather their views on current working conditions
• Working with other executives to develop and implement policies that enable or encourage a happy working environment. For example, he or she can decide that employees be allowed to bring their pets to work, because there are several benefits of having an office pet
• Developing effective employee benefit programs – This typically involves ensuring the optional, non-wage compensation given to employees is competitive
• Helping employees to create personal visions that are linked to the organization’s vision
• Generating creative ideas for boosting employee happiness  in the workplace – this may involve redesigning the working space
• Organizing sessions or conferences where employees are taught about happiness. The CHO can also lead these sessions
• Participating in the resolution of workplace disputes, ensuring this is done with open hearts and that employee relationships aren’t ruined
• Overseeing a departmental staff that may include employee development specialists, counselors, psychologists and life coaches
• Providing personal advice to employees who may reach out for help, guidance or even inspiration
• Recommending books, blogs and other pieces of literature that employees can read to learn more about happiness.
• Looking for opportunities to promote happiness research, like partnering with a local university to conduct a happiness survey

It is important to note that there is no (at least not at the moment) standard job description for a CHO because it is an emerging position. A perfect example is Google’s Chade-Meng Tan, whose current description is to ‘enlighten minds, open hearts and create world peace’. In other words, you will be expected to do whatever it takes to make the workforce happy and productive.
