Reducing Stress and Increasing Engagement in Changing Times

Since the pandemic we’ve been operating in crisis mode. It took 41 percent of the global workforce to resign for us to finally admit, crisis mode may not be sustainable. And yet, here we are in 2023, growth expectations have not slowed, workloads are still unmanageable, ...

Since the pandemic we’ve been operating in crisis mode. It took 41 percent of the global workforce to resign for us to finally admit, crisis mode may not be sustainable. And yet, here we are in 2023, growth expectations have not slowed, workloads are still unmanageable, and people keep quietly quitting or quitting outright.

The lack of stress-testing before the pandemic caught organizations completely off guard. It
wasn’t just overwork, there were changes in process, new technology to master, ever-increasing
meetings, new modes of working, rising loneliness, and an explosion of inefficiencies that felt like
pouring glue into an already sluggish wheel.

Although there’s a strong desire to put the past into the rearview, Jennifer believes that’s a mistake. Three years of living in fight/flight/freeze changes people. We can’t go back. And, do employees really want more? Or do they just want something different? A ‘jam the toothpaste back in the tube’ strategy has never worked – why would it now?

Jennifer Moss, globally recognized as an expert in workplace wellness, can show you how to capture those lessons from the past to make a better future of work.

Takeaways include:

  • How to better measure risk of attrition and disengagement before it’s too late
  • Tackling unmanageable workloads (it’s not what you think)
  • The six root causes of burnout—and what organizations can do to prevent it
  • Why traditional corporate wellness initiatives may worsen the problem
  • Leading in the age of quiet quitting, rage applying, and future work trends
  • Ways to shape a better hybrid/remote/in-person strategy to prevent burnout
  • How organizations can lead with empathy and why that matters right now
