| Session 1 | 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Topic | Speaker | Room | Description |
| Flourish: Evidence-Based Strategies for Improving Your Work and Life | Theresa Glomb, Toro Company-David M. Lilly Chair in the Carlson School of Management | Club Cambria - 3rd Floor | University of Minnesota Professor Theresa Glomb will present the science and practice of small, practical micro-interventions or “work hacks” designed to create more fulfilling, productive, and satisfying work lives. The session is a unique and engaging blend of research highlights, personal stories, and practical disciplines, woven together with rich examples from employees, executives, and her own efforts at crafting a meaningful and wholehearted work life. Ultimately, Professor Glomb is trying to make work great (or at least a little better). |
| Upended: Challenges and Possibilities in a Changing World of Work | Phyllis Moen, Professor Emerita, Sociology | Indoor Club Room- 6th Floor | The pace of technological change, magnified during the COVID-19 lockdown, is upending taken-for-granted assumptions and routines around where, when, and how work is accomplished. Under what conditions do these transformations produce greater stress or conversely, a sense of work-life fit? What constitutes sustainability for both employers and employees? Can we learn to live -- and work-- under the uncertainties of both planned and unanticipated changes in the social organization of work? |
| (Re) Connect to Your Why | Jeff Stafford, Owner + Founder of Orange Slice Training + Coaching | M Club Room - 1st Floor | Does it seem like your world of work is forever putting out fires? Are you trying to help leaders who are beyond burned out, while feeling the strain and overwhelm of the last couple years yourself? This session provides you a few simple tools (and the time!) so that you can reconnect to the "WHY" that allows you to model a way of being that sparks effort and energy in others. |
| Session 2 | 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Topic | Speaker | Room | Description |
| Harvesting The Collective Wisdom – Leading Transformational Change | Mercedes Ramirez Fernandez, UMN's Vice President for Equity and Diversity | Club Cambria - 3rd Floor | This presentation will explore models anchored in the ethics of diversity, equity, justice and inclusion (DIJE) and how to weave these ideals into the strategy and operations of institutions of higher education. |
| Good Mental Health in the Workplace | Kay King, NAMI Minnesota (National Alliance of Mental Illness) | Indoor Club Room- 6th Floor | Learn the five things you can do to create a workplace that values good mental health. Attendees will learn how to promote good mental health, the common symptoms of a mental illness, how attitudes and language impact people with mental illnesses, and accommodations for mental illness. |
| Helping the Helpers: Combating Compassion Fatigue | Lyra, the University's Employee Assistance Program partner | M Club Room - 1st Floor | People in job roles that support the well-being of others are providing a noble service, but that service can take a toll. This workshop will explain what compassion fatigue is, how it develops, and most importantly, how to combat it via practical, evidence-based strategies that encourage resilience, boundaries, and prioritizing your mental and physical health. |
