RESILIENCY TALK

Mental Fitness to create Psychological Safe and Inclusive Workplaces

Gain clarity on what mental fitness practices can create resilient and thriving cultures.

Organizations that want to drive the DEI agenda, retain and attract top talent, and create an environment where employees want to perform to their potential require an engaged workforce.

Without psychological safety in the workplace, there is no possibility for inclusion; without inclusion, there is no opportunity for diversity and equality.

An estimated 60% of the workforce is stuck in a chronic state of disengagement that negatively impacts their employee experience, productivity, and mental health. When stress, uncertainty, or fear occupy the mind, most employees have never been trained to understand and notice how it is impacting their engagement, or they may have never been supported in the workplace and told how to focus on their self care.

In this keynote, Bill will provide clarity on what mental fitness practices can create resilient and thriving cultures. He explains how fear, adversity load, environment is contributing to workforce languishing and being disengage. He will provide a practical framework for how both employers and employee can take advantage of mental fitness practices to drive employee engagement and to create a positive experience where all employees feel a sense of belonging. Like a physical fitness plan the mental fitness practice takes intention, effort and time to create the desirable habits for a workforce to flourish.
