The Art of Workplace Engagement: Creating a Positive Environment to Engage Employees

When workers truly enjoy their work, their commitment to the company improves, attrition decreases, and productivity increases. This creates an upward spiral of positivity where employees are happier because they feel valued and respected. This translates into better mental health, as well as increased productivity and corporate profitability.

This intensive program will provide managers with the strategies and tools to increase workplace productivity by both improving employee engagement and reducing friction during times of workplace stress. Managers will learn how to integrate scientifically validated methods into their current workplace to enhance business results.

With an emphasis on research in the field of positive psychology, this program engages participants in a series of case studies and class-based activities to demonstrate the integration of this science into organizational management.
