[Best of] Bite-Size Insights: What do people need to be successful at work?

Insights - An Employee Engagement Show

As the end of this year draws to a close, we are taking time to review our most listened to episodes of 2020.

On one Bite-Size Insights this year, we talked high-level about what people need to do their best work. For many, a barrier for achieving a high level of engagement is burnout. The data supporting this statement came from the employee engagement trends report we launched in January. Fast forward a few months and employees are still struggling with burn out yet, the stressors and solutions look vastly different. While 2020 hasn’t gone as planned one thing remains true, the people closest to executing your company’s strategy are often the ones at risk or who already are experiencing burnout.

How does this understanding of burnout impact us in today’s environment? And what do people actually need to be successful at work whether it’s at home or in an office? Helping unpack these questions is Jeff Smith, a psychologist and the Director of 15 Five's Best Self Academy and our Santiago Jaramillo, CEO of Emplify.
