What do stress management at work and HR compliance have in common?
Everything!
Whether you care about leadership, employee engagement, well-being, teamwork, satisfaction, wellness, collaboration, or belonging, you can’t have one without the others. You need all to create a healthy workplace without burnout, turnover, and lawsuits.
Creating a respectful workplace is the key to attracting and retaining the best people
Burnout, turnover, and lawsuits cause stress—and are caused by stress. Leaders know that if they have the skills, ability, and mindset to achieve true stress management in the workplace as well as HR compliance, they can transform the workplace, their lives, and the lives of their team members. When they go beyond legal do’s and don’ts to focus on skills, strategies, and actions that ensure team members feel treated with respect and dignity, they effectively deal with stress at work, and attract and retain the best people who will perform at the highest levels. To develop these skills and strategies, leaders turn to conference keynote speaking and HR compliance training by Makana Risser Chai.
