Going beyond dealing with problems as they arise to helping employees and your organization flourish is a positive psychology approach. Each of the positive psychology components tracks beautifully to what constitutes a psychologically healthy and safe workplace:
P – Positive Emotion – Organizational culture has a lot of influence on this
E – Engagement – Psychologically safe leadership can improve and sustain this
R – Positive Relationships – Team building can create this
M – Meaning – Supportive performance management can facilitate this
A – Accomplishments/Achievements – Recognition and reward can celebrate this
V – Vitality – the intention of psychological health and safety is to maximize the energy and focus of all employees, even on a bad day
This session will give you some practical tools, strategies and resources to do this. And for those who may also apply for the CPPA Canadian Work and Well-being Award, this session can help you make the links between what you already do well and what qualifies you for this award. Whether you are a leader, HR professional or a consultant, this session will give you what you need to start using positive psychology in your practice.
