Why the Simple Things Matter Most for Workplace Well-Being (Hint: It’s Not the Healthy Snacks)
Description:
Ping pong tables and snack bars aren’t what makes employees want to stay — culture is. This keynote reframes workplace well-being as something leaders build every day through small, human moments rather than big-budget perks. Jillian Bernstein will show you how to create real recognition, connection, and engagement regardless of where your team works, and you’ll leave with three actionable takeaways you can implement immediately — no budget required.
Learning Objectives:
- Build Real Human Moments: Learn how to create genuine connection with your team, regardless of where they work.
- Create Meaningful Recognition: Develop recognition strategies that cost nothing but mean everything to employees.
- Design Policies That Keep People Engaged: Build policies and programs that keep employees engaged and showing up.
