Overview

Exploring a career now made scientific:

Career dilemmas, doubts, advice, and suggestions—there is so much that students preparing for the corporate job phase, professionals who have lost their jobs, or those facing a midlife career crisis experience in their lives. The ideal choice of career, subject specialisation, and courses varies for each individual and depends on the relevant knowledge, skills, and the right attitude required for the specific career. Unless these elements are present in the right proportions, individuals cannot make an informed choice regarding their academic specialisation or career path.

This introductory training to a workshop is designed to help students and professionals make informed career choices using the world’s most technologically advanced career and self-exploration tool, developed through 25 years of global research. The workshop will help align individual strengths, skills, and motivations to the right career path, providing a scientific approach to career exploration.

Overview

Organisations are continually challenged to find ways to increase employee engagement. While changes in benefits, rewards, and compensation are often considered the best solutions, engagement results seldom show significant improvement. As a result, the problem persists, and organisations fail to achieve their full potential for enhanced engagement and retention.

This is a unique introductory training to a workshop, covering global research findings on the scientific process for measuring intrinsic behavioral factors that drive individual engagement, identifying gaps between employee expectations and motivators, facilitating essential dialogue between employees and managers, fostering a shared responsibility for engagement, and creating a culture of engagement within the organisation.

This training provides actionable insights for organisations to unlock their full potential by fostering an engaged and motivated workforce.
