Aimed at line managers, team leaders, and HR professionals, this webinar focuses on building inclusive, high-performing teams. It is for firms aiming to improve performance, whilst also enhancing retention, engagement, and wellbeing.
Work life is nothing like a relaxing weekend. As professionals, every day we juggle complex tasks and interactions with colleagues and senior managers, all the while keeping up with constant demands and interruptions. To succeed in our job, and have healthy relationships with others, we need to manage ourselves carefully and try to fit in and belong.
For many of us, this takes real effort - masking natural behaviours, code-switching, and regulating sensory input just to get through the day. Over time, all that effort can be mentally and physically exhausting, with real consequences for both people and organizations.
This session explores how all professionals' process information and the energy involved to successfully navigate the workplace and the steps leaders and teams can take to create spaces where every kind of mind can thrive, not just those who feel able to name or disclose their differences.
We will cover:
Sensory processing differences and how these impact day-to-day work experiences.
Masking and code-switching behaviours and the effect on wellbeing and performance.
Transparent, consistent, and fair expectations on office behaviour and performance.
