TOPIC: "Optimism: The Overlooked Superpower"

Please join April Tuck and John Maitland for a look at optimism. While it may seem like being pessimistic is an accepted attitude, research is revealing that employees are craving a more optimistic culture. Effective HR plays a significant role in shaping and can help infuse a healthy dose of optimism into organizational culture. Together, we’ll take a look at what optimism is, why it is so critical to our survival, and how HR can cultivate optimism across our organizations.
