Perspectives: What’s Love Got To Do With Work
Why getting comfortable with the “L word” is the key to business success.
Turns out the late, great Tina Turner was onto something. Love makes the world go ‘round, and now it’s steadily making its way into our world of work.
We shouldn’t be so surprised. Love, even in the workplace, is the driver of well-being, morale, psychological safety, and so much more of the good stuff.
While the workplace isn’t a rom-com, a culture without kindness and empathy are nothing to laugh about. Data says “job satisfaction has declined at a rate 10 times faster than in the previous three years.”
Has there ever been a greater need for love to save the day?
Join us for this powerful session, where you’ll learn:
- How increasing isolation and loneliness is threatening employee well-being (and how to combat this)
- Why belonging has become an essential component of employee engagement (and how to foster more of it)
- Why having a “bestie” at work can boost the bottom line (even Gallup says so)
We’d love to see you there! 💞
