“To be successful, interventions must achieve a substantial change in team-based behaviours that inform the way people work together,”
Given that we spend more than half of our working hours at work, it is important for leaders to foster strengths and resilience, and utilise Positive Psychology techniques in the workplace. Positive Psychology is the scientific study of well-being that enables individuals, organisations, and communities to thrive. It has tremendous potential for cultivating meaningful and fulfilling lives, and enhances the experiences of love, work, and play.
Positive psychology emphasizes individuals over tasks and work-related skills, and trains managers and leaders to see employees as people with specific interests and abilities. When employees feel valued as unique individuals, they give more of their energy and attention to their jobs.
There are at least 8 credible findings from world-leading HR and People Management companies on the measurable benefits of practicing Positive Psychology in the workplace:
- 64% increase in employee retention
- 32% less sick time
- 43% higher Productivity
- 300% More Innovation
- 37% higher sales
- 125% less burnout
Companies that have implemented positive psychology interventions have stated that employees are typically happier when they feel valued and respected, and this translates into better mental health, as well as better productivity. The corporate bottom line also benefits when workers actually enjoy being in the office.
Companies that embrace positive psychology typically do so to create balanced and harmonious office environments, where individuals and to-do lists work seamlessly together. The financial gains are a benefit, certainly, but never as more important than the employees actually doing the work.
In this course, leaders and managers will learn practical ways to gain an understanding of the field of positive psychology and how to implement it at work for positive outcomes.
