This is a synopsis of the key points from my conversation with Matt Shenker, all about managing expectations versus reality when it comes to workplace behaviour and wellbeing.
The main points include:
- The importance of restructuring workplaces to meet the human needs of connection and purpose.
- Understanding the six intrinsic human drives and how they relate to workplace wellbeing.
- The concept of an implementation gap in workplaces, not a knowledge gap.
- The role of leaders in connecting company missions to individual values for greater impact.
- Insights on how AI can organise data to improve workplace systems and processes.
- The significance of recognition in manager-employee relationships to enhance engagement and retention.
