According to recent studies, the connection between employee well being and employee engagement are inseparable. Trends show that investment and development of human capital should be our top priority. Healthy employees are more mindful, happier and show higher rates of job satisfaction. Engaged employees show up to work with a bounce in their step, are less distracted and overall are less vulnerable to negative stress. Where engagement is low - morale is low. Where engagement is high - cultures thrive and organizations show 21% greater profitability.
In this week's episode, Jenni has a conversation with Heath Wilson, Co-Founder of Aro, about how we as leaders and chief vision casters can be more intentional about modeling what it looks like to manage a very real distraction that hinders us from truly seeing our people and leaning into more meaningful interactions with those whom we lead. Heath is passionate about helping leaders, families, and organizations reclaim their time without technology and Aro is his way of doing that. Prior to Aro, Heath’s 20+ year career was primarily spent at eVestment, a financial technology company he co-founded and ultimately sold to NASDAQ in 2017.
As leaders, we have the ability to set the tone in our cultures by creating new habits and establishing rhythms to increase authentic engagement. Small habits are the building blocks to take you from where you are to where you want to go. In our everyday interactions, it is our responsibility to bend culture and create moments that hold the possibility of quantity for the sake of quality.
For a next step, we encourage you to REGISTER for the Culture Conference 2022 hosted by The 4Sight Group. Culture Conference is a FREE digital conference, taking place Aug 11th that will provide practical talks from today’s top leaders to help you continue to build thriving teams, cultivate inspiring workplaces, and achieve mission.
