Why a Strengths-Based Approach to Talent Development Is Transformative
So, what would the world look like if every employee looked forward to going to work? According to Gallup, you must “get the best out of your people to get the best out of your business. Workplaces that will win in the future require a change in strategy today. At the core of that strategy sits a focus on strengths.” Managers who can (1) tap into the unique talents of each member of their team and (2) help those team members develop their talents into strengths so that employees are able to do what they do best every day, are the key to transforming the workplace. This session will focus on the transformative power of a strengths-based workplace culture.
