Description

Why can’t we all be happy at work?  This question, and more importantly, its answers and solutions, unlocks the key to the next big pay-off in the modern economy.

In this first of a three part webinar series on The Happiness Advantage at Work, Devin Hughes, Chief Inspiration Officer at International Thought Leader Network (partner with Harvard happiness researcher and internationally best-selling author Shawn Achor) talks to JJ Bowman, a senior executive at Nationwide Brokerage Solutions, (a Nationwide Insurance company) about the requirements for creating a happy and engaged culture.
 
Nationwide Brokerage Solutions was recently featured (April 2015) by The National, the flagship nightly news from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in its special report on raising happiness levels. Watch Report.

Although scientific support for the benefits of happiness is mounting, creating a happy and engaged culture requires a new kind of organizational learning. Current data suggest that this is only possible if leaders and their organizations choose happiness.

In this interactive session, Devin and JJ will explore why happy cultures are difficult to build and sustain AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT!

You’ll hear the story of how Nationwide Brokerage Solutions has increased engagement levels, reduced turnover and achieved record-breaking business growth and financial performance by prioritizing a positive culture and embedding happiness practices into the organization.

As a participant you will gain valuable insights into:

  •     How to get senior leader buy-in and support for happiness
  •     How to empower teams and individuals to create a high-performing culture
  •     How to spread learning and positive behaviors that support both happiness and performance
  •     Why JJ and Nationwide Brokerage Solutions is committed strategically to a world class, happy and engaged culture
