Friday Pulse

Who We Are

Friday Pulse embodies the intersection of technology, psychology, and workplace happiness, creating meaningful solutions that transform how organizations understand and support their teams.

Launched at the beginning of 2018 by our founder Nic Marks—a renowned statistician and expert in happiness at work—our journey is built on over a decade of expertise in crafting employee engagement solutions that matter. Nic's pioneering work includes founding the Centre for Well-being at the New Economics Foundation and creating the Happy Planet Index, bringing world-class credibility to our mission.

Our mission is rooted in the belief that a happy team is a productive team, and our platform is designed to transform workplace environments through insightful analytics and meaningful engagement. We combine rigorous statistical methods with human-centered design, ensuring that data drives genuine understanding rather than overwhelming complexity.

Our team reflects what we stand for—a passionate, open-minded group committed to not just promoting happiness at work but living it every day. Friday Pulse's essence is our unique blend of psychological insight and statistical integrity. We strive to be rigorously analytical without losing sight of the human element that drives team dynamics and performance.

The story of Friday Pulse is one of continuous innovation and deep commitment to improving organizational culture. From our founder's pioneering work in employee engagement surveys to the dynamic platform we offer today, our evolution is a testament to the power of positive workplace practices and the transformative impact they can have on teams across the globe.
