There’s Hope
What helps people manage stress and anxiety in order to feel more valued and happier at work? According to Lisa E. Papp, the answer is astoundingly simple: having management express their gratitude for contributions employees make. The same goes for the company’s clients, who may leave if they feel taken for granted.
Using the latest scientific research from the Greater Good Science Center, University of California, Berkeley, and her years of experience in sales and customer service, Lisa can stimulate a discussion on proven ways gratitude can increase your audience members’ on-the-job happiness and productivity. As leader of PracticalGratitude.com, she can discuss:
- What gratitude is (it’s more than just manners or expressing appreciation for a gift).
- Why companies need to focus on looking for the good in employees rather than what they do wrong.
- The two most important words often missing from texts, phone messages and e-mails.
- Why it’s important to treat your employees as well as you treat your customers.
