Developing leaders to become better decision makers is a major challenge. Here are a few ways to build decision-making skills.

Making the Best Leadership Decisions

Implementing and coping with change is an essential skill that many lack. Paul and Daniel White explain why appreciation is a powerful tool for change management—when done with authenticity.

Appreciation and Change Management

The demands for talent development (TD) in healthcare are ever-increasing, and more healthcare organizations are realizing that their success as a business depends on their TD professionals’ success. As the function grows in importance, it will be asked to do more with limited resources and support. TD professionals are not immune to these constraints and issues that affect workplace health and cause toxicity. The link between work and health has become more pronounced because of the COVID-19 pandemic, as noted in US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy’s October 2022 report, Framework for Workplace Mental Health and Well Being. Healthcare, the frontline to this crisis, continues to be strongly affected by staffing shortages, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma, resulting in huge cultural shifts in the workplace.
But what does a healthy workplace look like? The Surgeon General’s report cites five components of healthy workplaces: protection from harm, connection and community, work-life harmony, mattering at work, and opportunity for growth.
What role can TD professionals play in supporting and promoting, or even creating, a healthy workforce? Join us on Friday, February 3, 1–3 p.m. ET for an open discussion about TD’s challenges and contributions to employee well-being and holistic learning. Daniel McEssey, MA, MS, and Mary Holtschneider, MEd, MPA, BSN, RN, NPDA-BC, CPTD®, will share their diverse experiences as a performance psychologist and a highly credentialed clinician on resiliency, self-care, autonomy, and flexibility in the healthcare workplace.

Loneliness and isolation in the workplace hurt employee health and well-being—and the bottom line.

All the Lonely People

Giving someone our full and undivided attention and “listening with our eyes” is the first step in building a powerful executive presence.

Listen With Your Eyes

Today’s workers are more stressed, less loyal, and technology dependent. While digital platforms and devices have supported remote working, powered the gig economy and enhanced our collaboration, they have simultaneously made the workplace less productive and made workers feel increasingly isolated. Countless research studies conclude that employees are yearning for the in-person interactions and relationships that give us a sense of belonging and meaning in our work lives, yet we continue to become increasingly dependent on tech. In a study in the Harvard Business Review, one professor found that a single face-to-face request is 34 times more successful than an email. This is but one example of how by working human, we can also work more successfully.
In this webcast, you’ll learn:

why the highest performing and healthiest teams are the ones that are the most connected
how technology can negatively impact work relationships—and how to radically improve them
the importance of recognizing and supporting employees who feel isolated from the team
how team connectivity impacts business outcomes and can increase loyalty and organizational commitment—and ways to encourage it.
