Meeting the Challenge of Burnout – January 17, 2024

2024 Signature Seminar

Meeting the Challenge of Burnout

Featuring Dr. Christina Maslach, Author, The Burnout Challenge

January 17, 2024 | 1:00pm – 2:00pm ET

Burnout is an occupational phenomenon that results from chronic workplace stressors that have not been successfully managed.  Research on burnout has identified the value of fixing the job, and not just the person, within six areas of job-person mismatch.  Improving the match between people and their jobs is the key to managing the chronic stressors, and can be done on a routine basis as part of regular organizational checkups.  Better matches enable people to work smarter, rather than just harder, and to thrive rather than to get beaten down.

This event is open to all individuals at member organizations.

Women@Work: A Global Outlook – December 7, 2023

2023 Signature Seminar

Women@Work: A Global Outlook

Featuring Emma Codd, Global Chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer, Deloitte

December 7, 2023 | 12:00pm – 1:00pm ET

Since 2021, Deloitte’s Women @ Work: A Global Outlook Report has provided insight into women’s experiences in the workplace. 2021’s findings were dominated by the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women, while 2022 showed an equally concerning and stark picture of increasing exposure to non-inclusive behaviors, burnout, and challenges with hybrid working. This year, the responses of 5,000 women across 10 countries show improvement, but the underlying data emphasizes how much remains to be done.

Join us as Emma Codd, Deloitte’s Global Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer, talks through some of the key findings and recommendations from this year’s report and provides additional insights based on her experience as a thought leader in an organization focused on gender equality.

This program has been approved by the Board on Continuing Legal Education of the Supreme Court of New Jersey for 1.0 hour of total CLE credit. Of these, 1.0 qualify as hours of credit for diversity, inclusion and elimination of bias (BCLE Reg. 302:1).

This event is open to all individuals at member organizations.

Jeanine Turner HeadshotFeaturing Dr. Jeanine Turner, Professor, Communication, Culture, and Technology Program; Affiliate Professor, The McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University

December 14, 2022 | 1:00pm – 2:00pm EST

As our ability to pay attention in a world of distractions vanishes, it’s no wonder that our ability to be heard and understood—to convey our messages—is also threatened. Whether working with our teams and customers or communicating with our families and friends, it is increasingly difficult to break through the digital devices that get in the way of communication. We’re often participating in multiple conversations at once. As a result, our ability to be socially present with an audience requires an intentional approach. Join Dr. Turner in this session to learn to:

  • Identify challenges created by digital devices and create strategies for success;
  •  Isolate strategies for engaging the attention of others based on the needs of the context, the message and the relationship; and
  • Create an intentional approach to constructing our social presence in our conversations.
