4 Principles of Connection: Creating Purpose Through Employee Experiences

In this session we’ll address the problems created by the employee engagement model for people strategy and, thus, why engagement levels haven’t moved in 30+ years of research and
implementation. We’ll then explore an alternative model (4 Principles of Connection) that examines people strategy through the lenses of employee experience and human-centered design thinking to infuse purpose that leads to personal fulfillment and organizational mission. Participants will exit with a simple and clear framework for designing ideal employee experiences throughout the employee lifecycle in their organization.

Objectives:

1.Understand the importance of connections for our wellbeing
2. Recognize the true purpose of work in our lives to fulfill a meaning
3. Identify the 4 Principles of Connection that drive the ideal employee experience
4. Tips for how to infuse the 4 Principles of Connection into your organization

The No *BS Workplace (Burnout and Stress)

The future of work is here, and BS (burnout and stress) is taking a devastating toll on workers from the floor to the C suite. Even the World Health Organization (WHO) now recognizes burnout as an occupational health issue. What's more, the WHO has also shared that up to 25% of mental health disorders are caused by toxic work environments. With labor shortages on the rise, resignations on the rise, and union petitions skyrocketing, employees are making it loud and clear they demand better from leaders and organizations.

In this session we'll discover:

1. Why burnout and stress are the zeitgeist of the unhealthy employee experience

2. How to recognize burnout and stress before they drive your employees (and candidates) away

3. Recognize the top 5 company environmental dimensions impacting your employee experience

4.Tips to create a meaningful employee experience that aligns people and purpose
