The Positive Workplace
The tenets of positive performance—helping employees achieve their best, both at work and home, by supporting them in areas that contribute to their overall well-being—are based on a set of scientifically validated strategies and tactics. Organizations that foster the well-being of their employees have reduced turnover, achieved greater revenue, and gained higher profits than those that do not.
This Infoline will:
- describe positive performance
- explain why a positive workplace is critical to exemplary performance
- demonstrate practical, research-validated ways that L&D professionals, department directors, and managers can effect change
- offer guidance on how to implement specific approaches to achieve positive performance.
