ABOUT THE SESSION

All organizations have emotional culture and need our attention more than ever. Culture plays an important role in the workplaces and deeply matters.  A complex organization culture consists of three interconnected, inter-related and interdependent distinct components:

  1. Cognitive culture (thinking)
  2. Behavioral culture (doing)
  3. Emotional culture (feeling)

To develop emotional culture at work, we must elevate empathy, compassion, respect, kindness, patience, understanding, honesty and trust.

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

It is well-recognized globally, and in Asia, that engaged employees drive business results. So much so that there is agreement among top executives and consultants alike that measuring employee engagement is a must-do in the best of times. We will explore how listening to your employees can benefit companies, management, and employees, especially when the going gets tough.  And we ask ourselves: What role should independent directors play?

Ferdinand de Bakker, a council member at the Singapore Institute of Directors and an adjunct lecturer at Nanyang Technological University Singapore, and Marieke van Raaij, Regional Employee Engagement Solutions Leader Asia, Pacific, IMETA, LATAM at the HR consulting firm Mercer, will share the results of a global qualitative study as well as local research studies, and their conclusions and recommendations. 

Participants may wish to read ahead the report written by Mr. de Bakker titled “Recharging Employee Engagement: Management and communication synergy” which can be found on the link https://bit.ly/3vWIn7c
