About this Talk
Thriving at work is strongly associated with higher job satisfaction, improved performance, decreased stress and burnout, and an increased ability to effectively respond to challenges. While the traditional approach to workplace wellbeing has largely focused on preventing problems, it is time to shift to a more positive approach.
Integrating elements of positive psychology, Mae’s talk discusses what both employees and employers can do to foster a culture of wellness, engagement, and purpose. Attendees will learn how to develop personal resources and resiliency (such as perspective-taking, self-compassion, and a growth mindset) to better manage wellbeing, cope with demands, and collectively contribute to a thriving workplace culture.
