Annika Månsson Featured by The Empire Magazine as “The Most Innovative Keynote Speaker in Europe to Watch in 2026”
Over recent years, one shift has become increasingly difficult for organisations to ignore: performance expectations continue to rise, while energy, focus and engagement are not always keeping pace.
This growing gap is raising an important question for leaders and organisations alike: how can people continue to perform at a high level without being pushed beyond their limits? More and more, performance is no longer seen only as a matter of strategy, productivity or execution. It has also become a question of human sustainability.
This is one of the themes explored in a recent interview published by The Empire Magazine, featuring Annika Månsson, Founder of Happy at Work. In the interview, she shares her perspective on workplace wellbeing, psychological safety and sustainable performance — and why these topics are becoming central leadership challenges in today’s world of work.
At a time when many organisations are facing increasing pressure, rapid change and growing demands on employees, Annika highlights the importance of creating environments where people can perform, contribute and thrive without sacrificing their health, motivation or long-term capacity.
Happy at Work is proud to share that Annika Månsson has been featured by The Empire Magazine as “The Most Innovative Keynote Speaker in Europe to Watch in 2026.”
This recognition reflects a growing awareness that the future of performance will depend not only on what organisations expect from people, but also on how well they create the conditions for people to stay engaged, resilient and well over time.
