We're all working to build organizations that can adapt and thrive no matter what the future holds. But what if the biggest threat to your company’s resilience isn't the competition or the economy, but the quiet friction inside your own walls? This keynote digs into the science of workforce angst—the unmet human need for security, growth, and significance—and shows how it's secretly holding back innovation. Drawing on original research and real-world examples, you'll get a practical framework for applying Psychological Ergonomics. You'll explore how empowering employee growth transforms that internal friction into a powerful competitive advantage that directly impacts the bottom line. This is about making a strong business case that investing in your people is your most powerful strategy for growth.
