SUMMARY:The Power of Purpose: How to Drive Performance through Meaningful Work
DESCRIPTION:Watch now on demand \nEmployees today want more than a paycheck from their employer; they want jobs that align with their values\, career goals and life stage. They want work that is fulfilling and satisfying. It could be an opportunity to contribute to the community\, support their family\, grow their career\, or another priority unique to them. Meaningful work\, while deeply personal\, is also incredibly motivating.   \nIn one Canadian study\, 90% of respondents were willing to trade a portion of their income for greater meaning. Similarly\, 86% of Gen Z and 89% of Millennials in a SHRM survey said purpose was important to their job satisfaction. When people find meaning in their work\, they bring more energy\, creativity\, and loyalty to the workplace. Fulfilling work also strengthens trust\, improves collaboration\, and supports adaptability during periods of change. It drives employee engagement and performance.  \nThis desire for purpose is a clear business opportunity\, yet leaders are seldom taught how to help employees find meaning in their work. The task is also challenging because purpose is dynamic as well as personal. It shifts depending on a person’s circumstances. Only through strong relationships can leaders understand what motivates each person and help them find meaning in their work.   \nJoin us February 19 for a 1-hour free webinar hosted by Donald Thompson\, author of The Employee Engagement Handbook\, A Leader’s Guide to People\, Purpose\, and Performance.  Thompson is an award-winning CEO and multi-exit entrepreneur\, honored as EY Entrepreneur Of The Year®\, named to Forbes Next 1000\, and a 3x Inc. 5000 Chief Executive. Currently the Managing Director of the Center for Organizational Effectiveness at Workplace Options\, he is also the host of the High Octane Leadership podcast.  \nAlong with a panel of experts\, Thompson will explore how leaders can intentionally foster meaningful work while driving measurable business results.  \nWhat You’ll Learn:  \n\nWhat “meaningful work” means and how to talk about it \nHow to cultivate strong relationships and workplace trust   \nPractical ways to support meaning\, such as career growth and recognition \nHow to link business objectives to individual priorities  \n\nDiscover how cultivating meaning and purpose in the workplace can help organizations engage employees and create high-performing teams.  \nMeet the Panel\nDonald Thompson\nManaging Director\, Center for Organizational Effectiveness\n\nDonald Thompson is an award-winning CEO and multi-exit entrepreneur\, honored as EY Entrepreneur Of The Year®\, named to Forbes Next 1000\, and a 3x Inc. 5000 Chief Executive.

SUMMARY:From Exhausted to Engaged: Practical Steps to Prevent Burnout
DESCRIPTION:Burnout is not a personal failure—it is a workplace signal. And it is one that leaders can no longer ignore. Across industries\, teams are stretched thin\, managers are overwhelmed\, and high performers are quietly disengaging. Burnout shows up not just in employee well-being\, but in missed goals\, eroded trust\, and cultures that struggle to retain top talent.  \nIn this high-impact\, action-oriented session\, Jackie Ferguson shares three simple\, evidence-informed strategies that leaders and employees can implement immediately to reduce burnout and create a culture of sustainable performance.  \nJackie will help you identify the real organizational drivers of burnout—and show how clarity\, care\, and connection can be activated through small\, consistent actions at every level of the business.  \nYou Will Learn:  \n\nHow to talk about bandwidth and normalize conversations about capacity and support—without stigma or guilt. \n\n\nWhen to give (and ask for) control with autonomy\, prioritization\, and flexibility to reduce stress and boost engagement. \n\n\nHow aligning tasks to personal strengths boosts performance and protects energy. \n\n\nHow to know your people beyond the job to understand what drives—or drains—them and respond with compassion when life spills into work. \n\nBurnout doesn’t disappear overnight—but change starts with one intentional action. In this session\, you’ll learn how small shifts in communication\, connection\, and leadership can spark lasting transformation—for yourself\, your team\, and your culture.  \nAbout the Speaker\nJackie Ferguson\, CDE\nCo-Founder & VP of Content\, Programming\, and Products\nThe Diversity Movement\, a Workplace Options Company\nJackie Ferguson is a bestselling author\, award-winning entrepreneur\, and Vice President of Content\, Programming\, and Products at TDM.

SUMMARY:How to Build Workplace Trust in a Skeptical World
DESCRIPTION:In our polarized society\, trust is scarce and skepticism is rising. According to the 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer\, ethical failures and financial insecurity are leading to declining faith in business leaders\, organizations\, and government entities.     \nWhile building trust is increasingly difficult\, leaders who do this well can create thriving teams and high-performing organizations. Employees who trust their leaders are 12 times more likely to be fully engaged. In addition\, workers at high-trust companies report 74% less stress\, 50% higher productivity\, and 13% fewer sick days.   \nHow can executives\, human resource leadership\, and people-leaders overcome polarizing social forces and build workplace trust?   \nJoin us Thursday\, Aug. 28\, at 2 p.m. EST\, for a one-hour webinar explaining why trust is a strategic imperative and how leaders can cultivate it.

DESCRIPTION:In a world on edge—where wars reshape global priorities\, AI disrupts entire industries overnight\, and economic uncertainty squeezes businesses and individuals alike—one thing is clear: disruption isn’t the exception\, it’s the environment.

The best leaders aren’t reactive; they’re relentlessly prepared.

It’s a blueprint for thriving when the rules change—and they always do.  \nYou’ll walk away with: \n\nHow to lead with curiosity instead of control—and why that drives better decisions\nWhat real resilience looks like (spoiler: it’s not about grinding yourself down)\nHow inclusive leaders adapt faster—and build cultures where people want to stay\nBattle-tested frameworks to help you pivot\, lead decisively\, and stay relevant—starting now \n\nIn an era defined by disruption\, adaptability isn’t optional—it’s your edge.

SUMMARY:Pride Under Pressure: How to Create a Safe Workplace for LGBTQ+ Employees
DESCRIPTION:Over the last six months\, anxiety and stress have climbed\, especially for people in the LGBTQ+ community. And no wonder. The current administration has rolled back measures protecting civil rights and preventing discrimination. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has stopped processing all sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination claims. This year alone\, 869 anti-LGBTQ+ bills are under consideration across the U.S and 72 anti-trans laws have passed in 21 states. And\, the plan to cut suicide hotline funding could have lethal consequences for our loved ones. In the face of these escalating challenges\, it’s more important than ever to reflect on how we show up for each other at work. During Pride Month\, join us for a thoughtful conversation about workplace well-being in a hostile climate. Leaders have little control over outside events\, but they can create psychologically safe and supportive work environments.   \nJoin us on June 17 at noon ET for a 1-hour free webinar hosted by The Diversity Movement’s LGBTQ+ inclusion expert\, Susie Silver. We’ll explore how organizations can provide support for LGBTQ+ employees\, even as external support is eroding. Throughout the hour\, our panel will discuss:  \n\nHow to respond to current events that impact workplace well-being \nHow to demonstrate authentic allyship \nIntersectional needs of Gen Z employees who identify as LGBTQ+ \nHow ERGs can boost belonging and provide crucial support \nHelpful LGBTQ+ resources  \n\nRegister now to get actionable and practical strategies to support your team and the LGBTQ+ community. We’ll spend a significant portion of the webinar taking audience questions. We invite you to submit them here before the webinar or you can ask questions during the presentation.   \nDiscover how cultivating psychological safety in the workplace can help organizations engage employees and create high-performing teams.

SUMMARY:The Culture Reset: Leadership and the Future of Work
DESCRIPTION:DEI as we know it is facing serious headwinds. It’s been misunderstood\, politicized\, and targeted. But here’s what hasn’t changed: companies still need talented people\, aligned teams\, and cultures where folks actually want to stay\, contribute\, and grow.  \nA healthy workplace culture is still mission-critical. It fuels innovation\, strengthens team effectiveness\, and keeps top talent around. Inclusive environments also protect against psychosocial risks—burnout\, disengagement\, and toxic team dynamics—that cost organizations millions in turnover and lost productivity.  \nThe challenge today? It’s not the why—it’s the how and the messaging.  \nIn this TDM Library webinar\, Shelley Willingham cuts through the noise to reframe diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) as a business growth strategy—and a vital tool for building psychologically safe environments where people can thrive. Whether you’re facing pushback\, navigating anxiety and fatigue\, or simply looking for a smarter\, more strategic way forward\, Shelley will give you the tools to shift the narrative and anchor inclusion to what actually drives business: people\, performance\, and profit.  \nWhat You’ll Learn:\n\nStrategies to reframe DEI for long-term traction and credibility \nLanguage that reduces resistance and inspires buy-in \nHow to integrate inclusion into leadership\, team culture\, and performance systems \nReal-world examples of organizations aligning inclusion with business success \n\nWe’re opening up this TDM Library webinar for anyone to attend. \nAbout the Speaker\nShelley Willingham\, CDE\nChief Revenue Officer\, The Diversity Movement\nShelley is a serial entrepreneur and business strategist with more than 20 years of corporate and small business experience. In 2003\, Shelley founded the National Organization for Diversity in Sales and Marketing (NODSM)\, a company focused on helping corporate America recognize the increasing purchasing power of diverse segments and helping them market to these groups without using stereotypes or being offensive.

SUMMARY:Speak Up\, Innovate\, Succeed: Strategies for Psychological Safety
DESCRIPTION:Employees face stress from multiple sources—personal responsibilities\, workplace demands\, and societal unease—often with one area affecting the others. While organizations can’t eliminate these challenges\, they can create workplaces where employees feel supported\, valued\, and empowered. A psychologically safe environment fosters open communication\, trust\, and a sense of belonging\, allowing employees to share ideas\, take risks\, and grow—ultimately driving engagement\, collaboration\, and innovation. \nWhen employees trust that they can speak up\, admit mistakes\, and drive innovation without fear of retaliation or embarrassment\, teams become more collaborative\, resilient\, and high performing. \nIn this TDM Library webinar\, Gana Diagne\, Chief Knowledge Officer of Workplace Options and co-author of the WPO Psychological Safety study\, will break down the “how tos” of psychological safety and provide strategies for leaders and teams to cultivate it in their daily interactions. Whether you are managing a team of 5 or 500\, you will leave with practical tools to foster open communication\, build trust\, and create a workplace where every employee is productive and engaged. \nPlease note: we are opening up this TDM Library webinar for anyone to attend. \nAbout the Facilitator\nGana Diagne\, Chief Knowledge Officer\, Workplace Options\nIn this role\, Gana is responsible for overseeing Workplace Options’ data management and utilization analysis and forecasting future trends of IT applications. Prior to his current role\, Gana was Vice President of Information Solutions and Development for WPO and Head of Reporting at Rehalto. Gana holds a Master’s in applied mathematics\, statistics\, and data analysis from the University of Versailles and the National Institute of Telecommunications\, France. He also earned his Master’s in business administration from the Sorbonne Business School in Paris. \nGana is also the co-author of the Workplace Options’ Psychological Safety Study. The study provides deep insight into the workplace concerns that employees face across 9 countries. Leaders can use this insight to create\, guide\, and champion culture-based initiatives and programs to reduce workplace stress and build enhanced employee engagement and psychologically safe workplaces. Unlike most workplace studies (derived from surveys or opinion)\, the Workplace Options study is built on conversations between employees and clinicians\, providing insights into concerns reflected in employee emotions\, cognitions\, and attitudes toward work.
