Join us on May 14, 2024, to hear from Devin Hughes:
International Speaker, Thought Leader, and Author
Presentation Overview:
Today’s workplaces are full of cynicism, paranoia, and burnout. But the best organizations foster hope, trust, compassion, and cooperation because their leaders build a culture where employees can thrive. When creating a healthier, higher-performing organization, it’s no surprise that culture matters most. If carefully designed, culture is the difference between success and failure, engagement and alienation, health and sickness, joy and drudgery.
But here’s the deal: very few HR leaders know how to design a culture that works in the “next normal.” Building a great workplace doesn’t have to be complicated; it starts with your employees. Leaders across an organization can learn invaluable skills for understanding employee well-being and how it impacts the culture at work. The research is clear—positive and inclusive environments are performance enhancers. They are characterized by higher productivity, less turnover, and more resilient cultures. Organizations with happy employees outperform the competition by as much as 202%. Happy and engaged employees are committed and passionate about their work, resulting in higher performance and lower turnover rates. Leaders who know how to cultivate positive emotion tap into an endless well of psychological capital – hope, optimism, confidence, resilience, and belief – that can keep people and teams innovating, creating value, and more successful even in tough times.
Presentation Objectives:
- Review the prevalence and cost of poor employee well-being and unhealthy culture.
- Understand how Positive Psychology and Social-Emotional Intelligence impact employee performance and organizational health.
- Learn key strategies to improve communication, trust, and engagement throughout your organization.
