Happiness Makes Money.

According to the Gallup Engagement Index a staggering 87% of employees worldwide are not engaged at work. The world has a crisis of engagement, with serious and potentially long-lasting repercussions for the organizations.

This is where Paul ter Wal steps in. The former lawyer works on both sides – employer and employees – to create better leadership, work happiness and profitability. His concept is based on finding the “Non-Negotiables” and the core values of the individual as well as the company. Because a highly engaged workforce means the difference between a company that thrives and one that struggles.

When employees are engaged, they are passionate, creative, and entrepreneurial, and their enthusiasm fuels growth. These employees are emotionally connected to the mission and purpose of their work. This makes sales and marketing for organisations much easier.

The former lawyer at a social benefits organization as well as Assistant Director of a Public Health Insurance company started his consulting career at Capgemini in the field of social security and labor law. Today Paul ter Wal is a professional speaker, advisor, work health specialist.
