About Friday Pulse
What is Friday Pulse?
Friday Pulse is a London-based wellbeing-analytics platform built around weekly team happiness pulse surveys, founded by statistician Nic Marks (described on the company's about page as a "statistician with a soul"). The platform combines short, structured pulse check-ins with longer quarterly deep-dives so leaders can see how teams are feeling week to week and respond before issues compound.
According to the company's about page, Friday Pulse was "created by people with expertise spanning statistics, psychology, systems thinking, business leadership, and mental health, all sharing a simple belief: work should be good for people and for the organization." The team's science-led approach is anchored in Nic's pioneering work at the New Economics Foundation, where he founded the Centre for Wellbeing and created influential frameworks including the Happy Planet Index and the Five Ways to Wellbeing.
Where will I work?
Friday Pulse is registered in London, UK — the website footer reads "Built with ♥ in London, UK." Beyond that, the live company website does not publish a separate office address, a careers page, or a public team roster, so the day-to-day arrangement for individual roles is not described on the company's primary site.
What is the Friday Pulse team like?
The live /about page profiles Nic Marks as Founder & Chief Statistician (Cambridge mathematics, trained in organizational change and psychotherapy) and describes the broader team as combining "research and practical experience to help teams and organizations understand happiness at work, what drives it, and how to build cultures where people and performance flourish." Nic's recent book on happiness at work is featured on the about page as part of the company's ongoing thought-leadership work.
Work-Life Balance
Friday Pulse's business is workplace happiness, and the company is positioned around the idea that "happiness at work is not a soft idea but a strategic advantage." The current live website does not, however, publicly describe a four-day-week policy, working hours or detailed benefits — earlier 4dayweek.io copy referencing a flexible four-day week ran for several years but cannot be re-verified against the current live site, so candidates should confirm the latest working-hours arrangement directly with the company at application stage.
Perks and Benefits
The live company website (homepage, /about, /contact) does not currently publish a benefits summary or open roles. For the most up-to-date hiring information, prospective candidates should reach out via the contact form at fridaypulse.com/contact.
