Creating a workplace where employees can thrive and perform at their best is an ongoing challenge for organizations of all sizes. Motivation, engagement, and well-being are closely tied to performance, yet many struggle to translate these concepts into practical, measurable outcomes.

Join us for a discussion on the role of psychology in building effective workplaces, exploring how Industrial-Organizational (I/O) Psychology can help organizations build healthier, more productive work environments.

This session will explore:

• Evidence-based strategies to optimize employee performance and well-being
• How to create a workplace where employees feel motivated, supported, and valued
• Ways to translate psychological insights into measurable organizational success
• Practical lessons from professionals working to build effective workplaces

Whether you are a business leader, manager, or HR professional, this event will equip you with tools to strengthen your workplace culture and unlock the full potential of your people.
