TMS Global is committed to giving back to our communities and developing future leaders for a sustainable world. The Happiness Project works towards this goal by supporting charities that have limited access to funding and professional development opportunities.
The Happiness Project was founded by Team Management Systems in 2017, with a vision to nurture and sustain resilient charities built on the foundations of great teamwork and leadership. All workshops sponsored through The Happiness Project are delivered either directly by a TMS Global Authorised Distributor, or in partnership with a TMS Global Accredited Practitioner.
What’s on Offer
For Accredited Practitioners
Each year, TMS Global offers a no-strings-attached donation of up to 10 profiles per TMS Accredited Practitioner to support charitable work in their community.
TMS Global is proud to have supported the delivery of TMS products and training to over 300 Happiness Project recipients since 2017 in partnership with our accredited practitioner.
For Registered Charities
For groups larger than 10 respondents, TMS Global offers a 20% discount off the wholesale price of all self-rater profiles used in conjunction with The Happiness Project.
All ACNC registered charities can access this discount by seeking pre-approval from the Client Support Team.

Our Why
“At TMS, our purpose is to empower individuals and businesses to achieve their full potential. Since 2017, the Happiness Project has been one of the ways we put that into practice beyond the corporate world. We can’t do everything, but we can open the door: we provide the profiles, our accredited practitioners donate their time to facilitate, and charities and community organisations bring the commitment to make it count. Over 300 people have benefited so far, and every one of those sessions is a chance to leave a legacy of lasting change.”
— Kirsty McCann, Head of Strategy & Innovation, TMS Global
- Our purpose: we empower individuals and businesses to achieve their full potential. The Happiness Project extends that to the people and organisations who give the most and are rarely resourced to invest in themselves.
- Our impact: we want to leave a legacy of lasting human behavioural change in the workplace, and to make work a place of meaning, connection and high performance through teamwork. Charities and community organisations deserve that too.
- Our vision: a world transformed by high performing teams. That has to include the teams working in our communities.
- Our mission in action: the profiles carry the science, and our accredited practitioners donate their facilitation time to turn the insights into clear, actionable change.
- Our track record: since 2017, over 300 recipients, with up to 10 free profiles a year for eligible not-for-profits.
