Happiness Agency

The Happiness Agency is an agency dedicated to improving employee well-being.

They believe that companies should provide a healthy, appropriate and caring working environment for their teams. Human relations in the workplace have changed dramatically since the COVID crisis.

Their conclusion is that, more than ever, we need to strengthen communication and team involvement and reinforce the feedback culture. To find out more, read our interview with the Happiness Agency ici.

LilPulse is the first application in Switzerland to "take the pulse" of team members through a quick, personalised, weekly survey.

Accessible from mobile phones, tablets or the office, employees and managers can access the team's "weather forecast" every week. This weather forecast reflects the results of last week's survey, and can be used to help managers make decisions that are in the best interests of the team! 

The Happiness Agency commissioned us to develop the entire solution. The solution consists of a web-based management tool and LilPulse web, IOS and Android applications.

The mobile applications enable employees to answer weekly questions, check their weekly results and their overall results, and compare them with the rest of the team. Managers can prepare a personalised question for their colleagues to answer during the next questionnaire. As the app is not resource-intensive, we chose to develop it using hybrid technology, with the Angular framework for the view templates and Capacitor for packaging and deploying the application. This approach means we only need to develop the application (almost) once, and deploy it on both Android and iOS web platforms!

The frontend will communicate with a backend server developed in Laravel and VueJS. This stack is the one we use most in our web projects, as it makes it much easier to manage routes and communicate with the database. An administrator has access to this backend to manage the companies, the managers of each company and the survey.  

Following the LilPulse project carried out in 2021, HappinessAgency entrusted us with the creation of a new version of their employee monitoring tool with a new concept based on 3 axes : Measure, Train and Support.

This new version adds a gamification element with the addition of a ‘game board’ and includes a new burn-out detection form as well as e-learning activities. Each week, a different activity is offered to the employee from among the 3 types of activity, according to a timetable defined by the experts at HapinnessAgency.
