Description:
Positive Psychology is a strengths-based approach, grounded in science and gradually becoming more widely applied in a range of organisations, as the foundation for many HR processes, such as talent management, leadership development and recruitment and retention. Organisations are discovering how the approach can be applied in challenging times to strengthen resilience and maximise their success. Now more than ever, organisations need to be more equipped to address negative thinking, disengagement and increased stress and other factors which can lead to reduced productivity and poor performance. This session will provide an opportunity to understand and explore Positive Psychology, and try out some techniques for yourself.
