Maven Prioritizes Employee Happiness® to Drive Success

Maven, an executive search and talent advisory firm, is known for transforming businesses across investment banking, global markets, investment management, and technology. From offices in London, New York, Dubai and Hong Kong, Maven operates on a foundation of deep partnership—serving as a trusted adviser to select global institutions. Maven’s success has been driven by a commitment to access, opportunity, and excellence.

Measuring What Matters

Recognizing that employee happiness is a cornerstone of long-term organizational success, Maven partnered with Amazing Workplace to conduct an Employee Happiness® Conversation. This anonymous survey, powered by patent-pending feeling verification technology, offered a clear and honest look at how employees truly feel about their work experience. The scores significantly outpace industry averages, reflecting a strong, people-centered workplace culture.

People First, Always

Maven fosters a culture where employees genuinely enjoy the work they do and the people they do it with. They also enjoy consistent support from their leaders and feel safe to be themselves at work. Maven’s leadership has intentionally cultivated an environment where individuals feel safe, valued, and excited to contribute.

At Maven, we know that our people are our greatest strength. The insights from the Employee Happiness® Conversation support us as we continue to build a culture rooted in kindness, partnership, excellence and integrity. – Will Hannaford, CEO, Maven

Committed to Continuous Improvement

While the results reflected a strong foundation and much to celebrate, Maven knows the path to excellence is an ongoing commitment. With guidance from the Amazing Workplace Platform, the firm is taking a proactive approach—identifying what’s working well and addressing areas with potential for growth. The goal, as always, is to continuously improve the employee experience and ensure that Maven remains a place where exceptional talent can thrive.

As the business continues to grow, one thing remains constant: Maven’s belief that investing in its people is a powerful strategy.
