Canceled/Postponed - Minimize Burnout and Enhance Engagement using the Job Demands-Resources Model (What a lifetime around horses has taught me about people.)

Join us for an engaging program with Andy Jansen, who will introduce the Job Demands-Resources (J D-R) model through bringing to life the parallels between his work with horses, and the psychology of leadership, change, engagement, and diversity. The Job Demands-Resources (J D-R) model is a tool to positively impact productivity and retention. The J D-R model helps identify job demands and resources at the individual and organizational levels that impact both burnout and engagement.  By helping leaders understand these factors, practitioners across the OD spectrum can help maximize the productivity, resilience, and innovation of teams and individuals.

This interactive session will encourage participants to reflect on and share experiences relating to latent causes of resistance, burnout, and engagement. 

We will discuss the application of the J D-R model in embracing diversity, change management, coaching, professional development, leadership development, and performance management.

This session will enable you to think critically about the impact of constraints, flexibility, and accountability on engagement, and come away with tools you can immediately apply to improve critical outcomes.
