Developing Key Essential Skills for Leaders: Equitable Communication

About this session

No matter how much you’ve worked on your own essential skills as a leader, if the emotional and mental wellness of your employees is not a priority, it could cost you $550 billion each year, according to a recent study by The Engagement Institute.

With toxic workplace behavior being the single largest predictor of negative employee outcomes, including burnout, it’s no surprise that leaders are seeing an increase in employee disengagement and high turnover. As leaders continue to focus on their bottom line, how can they include key essential skills in their organization’s development?

During this workshop — Part 2 in a three-part series dedicated to developing key essential skills for leaders — we´ll re-evaluate the way we communicate as leaders and the impact this has on our team’s wellbeing.

In this series, you’ll learn:

  • How to create and refine equitable communication best practices for leadership
  • How to encourage equitable communication within your organization’s development
  • How can equitable communication can impact your employee engagement
