Overview

Creating a positive work environment is a continuous challenge. A strong workplace culture has a positive influence on productivity; quality and safety, not to mention that it makes it a place people want to work. On the other hand, the absence of a positive culture has significant costs and impacts every aspect of an organization.

The good news is that with a willingness to do some work and a plan of action, cultures can be moved in a positive direction. This requires a leadership team that supports this effort, supervisors, and leads that engage with employees in a positive way and employees who are receptive to this effort. This process requires ENERGY and a sustainable strategy that works for all levels of the company. That’s where The Energized Approach comes in. 

The Energized Approach by Michael Melnik helps companies "generate, capture and sustain" the energy needed for a positive workplace. In this fun, high-energy, and information-packed session Michael introduces the 10 essential energy sources and demonstrates how this time-tested approach reduces resistance, maximizes participation, and generates a positive culture.

Why you should Attend

The most appropriate attendees for this session are those individuals in leadership positions who are concerned that the culture in their organization is draining energy from their efforts and limiting success. This can include managers, supervisors, leads, and anyone in a position of influence in the organization. 

Those in leadership positions receive numerous clues when their culture is having a negative impact on the goals of the organization. This includes apathy, resistance, programs, and initiatives that fail to take off, or that die on the vine. One of the biggest concerns, once this realization is there, is what can possibly be done to turn things around. Cultures are not easy things to "fix", and there is a perception that there is little or nothing that can be done.

Fortunately, The Energized Approach was created specifically to address this issue and give leadership the tools and strategies to gradually chip away at the things that drain a culture and offer strategies that bring positive energy into the workplace.
