Landmark Group Wins Gulf Business Award for the ‘Happiness & Positivity Company of the Year’

Landmark Group, the Middle East’s leading retail and hospitality conglomerate, has won the Gulf Business Award for the ‘Happiness & Positivity Company of the Year’.
The Group launched the Landmark Happiness Movement in 2017 to drive an unparalleled impact in the lives of 55,000 employees across the GCC and India. The Landmark’s Happiness Movement includes employee engagement, building a co-operative work culture and the overall happiness of all employees through enhanced benefits and work-life balance.
The driving force behind the Landmark Happiness Movement is Nisha Jagtiani, Group Director and Chief Happiness Officer at the Landmark Group. Commenting on winning the award, she said: “The Gulf Business ‘Happiness & Positivity Company of the Year’ award is for all the people in every part of the Group who have tirelessly contributed to making our workplace happier and more positive. An award like this brings recognition to important initiatives like Happiness, which have a significant impact on the quality of a person’s daily life.”
The Landmark Group has also strongly supported happiness initiatives by the government, as the Exclusive Retail partner for the Global Dialogue for Happiness and Retail partner for the World Government Summit over the last two years.
The Group has also taken the movement beyond their employees and extended it to their customers through special deals and better shopping experiences. ‘Happiness Booths’ were set up across Landmark shopping destinations urging customers to share their happiness stories, while many happy shoppers walked away with birthday gifts after enjoying special in-store performances.
The Happiness Movement, owned by every single employee at Landmark Group, is a movement to keep moving the needle on ‘Happiness’ both within the Group and the Community.
