In this course, we’ll examine what defines effective leadership at the senior level, how leadership styles influence workplace culture, and how to foster trust, accountability, and engagement across the organization.
We’ll take a good look at the business case for improving psychological health and safety and then look at the tools and strategies you can use to assess your organization and develop the strategies you need to enhance your overall workplace culture.
We’ll also explore the structural and cultural factors that shape employee well-being. Psychological safety, DEI, and harassment prevention will be discussed—not just as policies, but as leadership priorities that impact retention, morale, and performance.
Finally, we’ll explore stress, burnout, and workplace culture at the organizational level. You’ll learn how to identify what contributes to burnout—and how to adjust these factors to build a resilient, high-performing organization.
