Session Description
Some 50% of workers say anxiety negatively affects their performance; 75% say most stressful part of job is immediate supervisor; and 60% of organizations say they are planning to address anxiety & well-being in the next three years.
Even before the pandemic of 2020, anxiety was crippling the performance of workers—especially young employees. Today it is affecting productivity and leading to ghosting and burnout.
New York Times bestselling authors Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton introduce research from their spring 2021 release for Harper Business, Anxiety at Work. In their workshop, they offer 8 strategic tactics to build resilience, handle uncertainty, and get stuff done.
