HappyHR | Commercialising Innovative Disruptive Solution for Improving Human Resources Management and Practices

Summary
HappyOrNot are global leaders in a market niche we have helped create – that of instant customer satisfaction reporting for
the retail stores where since 2009 we have acquired over 2.500 clients. Our product is a portable smiley terminal that allows
for quick feedback on client satisfaction levels with reports and statistics delivered directly to management. Through the
interactions with our clients, we have found a great opportunity for our product within the HR industry.
The global HR industry (worth $619 billion) has been going through difficult times with the world recession underway for 8
years now. As companies have reduced costs, restructured and pushed people to work harder than ever, 60% of
organisations state that dealing with “the overwhelmed employee” is their top priority. It is these, and other, issues in the HR
industry that have created a market opportunity for a device that enables new business models through the collection of
realtime data about employee satisfaction markers. Our product allows companies across all fields to perform a key strategic
function in a way that will provide clear benefits through the reports on the state of the workforce – both for the companies
and their employees. And considering it is a hardware terminal that can be placed anywhere in the company, it also
functions as a tangible reminder of the managements commitments to improving working conditions while enabling
employees to provide feedback in a fully anonymous manner. Anonymity is currently the biggest barrier for all the digital
solutions that are available on the market.
This HappyHR project will serve to bring our product to a new market while enabling us to understand how our product
needs to be adapted. It will move our product to full commercial readiness for a Europe-wide launch and will enable our
company continuous success with turnover expectations of over €13.3 million and accumulated net profit of €19.6 million 5
years post project completion.
