Organisational Wellness and The New Challenge to Leadership - Chris O'Rourke
Description changed:
The Future of Work Scotland team are delighted to be hosting the awesome Chris O'Rourke, co-founder at Affinity.
We are in the midst of two macro changes in business and society – the first, the global shift to remote work and the second, an increasing acknowledgement and challenge of mental illness and burnout in the workplace. As a result of these changes, organizations and leaders will need to adapt and reinvent across every aspect of their business, from talent to technology to education. Our speaker, both a globally recognized COO and a Certified Personal Trainer, has developed an innovative and practical human centered framework that positions social, emotional, spiritual, environmental, occupational, intellectual, and physical wellness as a means to navigate this time of change. His approach drives the strategic thinking and planning to drive organizational wellness and focuses on building a better normal, not simply a new one.
Learning Objectives:
