Employee engagement is at a crisis low and silently killing businesses. Most businesses treat this as a people problem. It's actually a systems problem. When you design for how brains actually work your 'talented but difficult' people become your most valuable assets, and entire teams perform better.
Better systems. Better culture. Better retention.

Business owners & leaders, team leaders, managers, HR professionals; any business going through change - which is every business in this fast changing world. We're living in extraordinary times, most of us living in fear of what the future holds.
Lots of businesses invest in the latest technologies and processes, and often expect that their teams are going to uniformly learn and use these new skills as replacements, often not additions to their existing expertise. Businesses shout about the investment made is for their people or their customer's greater good/betterment.
However, many businesses don't understand what those changes to technology or processes, no matter how positive - what those changes are REALLY asking their people to give up. In terms of their identity, their strengths, expertise, or relevance. Businesses expect their people to 'receive' the new expertise, often from above or vendor driven. The outcome is either quiet quitting, or their people shutting down and disengaging. No dramatics, no walk-outs, no loud complaining. People just stop volunteering, stop asking questions, stop bringing ideas.
Businesses often don't stop to think about what the team HEARD about the change. They might have heard "I'm not enough anymore, my expertise might not be relevant today."
This is because of status threat. Our brains treat a status threat the exact same way as a physical threat: a flood of cortisol, narrowing of attention and an automatic move toward self-protection.
I'd like to share my learnings; leading change over many years alongside my accredited neuroscience informed approach.
How to really approach programs of change for the humans involved.
How to frame the new skill sets, how teams can co-design their future.
How to stop uncertainty festering into fear.
How to reduce cortisol, instead produce endorphins through recognition, belonging and sharing wins.
Business ambition will never be truly realised when our human nervous systems are in self-protection mode.
Aren't we all a little bit ADHD? Moving Beyond Labels to Navigate Human Operating Systems.
Global employee disengagement, according to Gallop at an all time low. 80% of your team could be unengaged, unproductive, absent or existing in unhappy working in environments that were built for human that doesn't even exist. No two people are the same - one size, does not suit anyone.
Focusing on better human operating systems; intentionally combining diverse strengths compounds business advantage.
Collette will demonstrate how to build engaged, high-performing teams who understand their mission and pull together, where everyone thrives and strives to helping businesses deliver on their company strategy.
Collette shows how human operating systems that are truly inclusive create happy workplaces. Companies where people have clear direction, identity and pride built on people's collective strengths that work with everybody's variable brains.
Workplaces and business models are changing, fast. This is the moment. In a world where technology such as AI and automation should remove the mundanity, people can be supported to work on the challenging - more satisfying work. We are in a moment of transition. Companies that rethink their ways of working now, will have advantage. The time is now to invest in people to be supported to enjoy higher productivity, loyalty, wellbeing, less absenteeism and ultimately higher profitability.
