Positive Psychology For A Healthier Workplace

Brett Weiner - Dedicated leader, practitioner health ambassador, business owner, and member of the board of directors for Osteopathy Australia.

Brett joined me in a Q & A style discussion and educational presentation on the two key areas of positive psychology that can be applied in the world of leadership, work, and organizations:

1. Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS): Represents a way of thinking and a value orientation

2. Positive Organisational Behaviour (POB): The practical application of these positively orientated behaviours for performance improvement.

Key points of discussion:

➡️ The 6 research validated positive practices for organisational flourishing

➡️ The 3 ways these positive practices actually work to enhance positive organisation function

➡️ Practicing Positive Organisational Behaviours

➡️ Where does the research sit right now?

POS and POB focus on the dynamics in organisations that lead to the development of:

o Human strength

o Nurture vitality and flourishing in employees

o Enables resilience

o Cultivates extraordinary performance.

Organizations are always seeking to increase employee output. But the growing prevalence of workplace stress, burnout, and other work-related malaises shows that maximizing performance can come at a price. Positive psychology can offer a wealth of solutions to our modern work-related challenges, especially when it comes to balancing performance with the health of employees. If you’re interested in getting the most out of your team right now, whilst still offering empathy and support, then this talk is for you!
