There is a lot that has been said about how important it is to secure executive and senior management buy-in for DEIB and while that is true, we have oftentimes overlooked the one critical lever: Line Managers.

While executive and senior leadership sets the tone, the values, and the strategy, it is the middle managers who hold the keys to an organization’s culture.

They control the employees’ day-to-day experience and are responsible for executing and turning strategy into reality. Thus, to effect change and transform the culture of a company, line managers need to be aligned, bought in, engaged, empowered, and equipped with the training, policies, framework, and tools they need to operationalize DEIB in the day-to-day management of the organization and its teams.

• Understand the critical role of line managers in operationalizing DEIB in the organization
• Identify the potential challenges in engaging line managers
• Take away tools and resources to help line managers practice conscious inclusion in day-to-day management

Business as we know it is being disrupted. New business models, massive technology shifts, and agile ways of working, have significantly changed the way organizations work.

The employee’s role in supporting these changes has never been more important. And yet, when it comes to understanding and addressing employee perceptions about their work culture, most organizations are woefully out of touch.

In a recent IBM study, only 50% of employees feel that their organizations don’t understand their needs or and have their best interests at heart. Without a clear sense of employee perceptions of their own work environment, organizations are generally unclear about how to improve and thrive.

In this webinar you’ll learn about:

• Breakthrough research on Employee Work Passion
• How Work Passion goes deeper than “Employee Engagement”
• How to improve the employee experience at every level

Employee wellbeing has emerged as a top priority for organizations as they struggle to combat an epidemic of burnout. Signs of this epidemic are everywhere: from record low employee engagement to a silent wave of ‘quiet quitting’, and a vicious cycle of attrition dubbed the ‘Great Resignation’.

Companies have invested heavily to treat these symptoms – spending over $50 billion in the past year alone.

They’ve experimented with a range of solutions, including more work from home flexibility, increased time off policies, and shorter work weeks. Despite these efforts, engagement and unhappiness has persisted — and even grown. The cure for burnout remains elusive.

Wellbeing programs have the potential to increase employee satisfaction, engagement and productivity – but these solutions are often piecemeal and fragmented.

Employee assistance programs are vital, but underutilized. Companies need a more holistic and practical approach to promote wellbeing, so business leaders can go from surviving day-to-day to thriving every day.
