SUMMARY:From Exhausted to Engaged: Practical Steps to Prevent Burnout
DESCRIPTION:Watch Now On Demand \nBurnout is not a personal failure—it is a workplace signal. And it is one that leaders can no longer ignore. Across industries\, teams are stretched thin\, managers are overwhelmed\, and high performers are quietly disengaging. Burnout shows up not just in employee well-being\, but in missed goals\, eroded trust\, and cultures that struggle to retain top talent.  \nIn this high-impact\, action-oriented session\, Jackie Ferguson shares three simple\, evidence-informed strategies that leaders and employees can implement immediately to reduce burnout and create a culture of sustainable performance.  \nJackie will help you identify the real organizational drivers of burnout—and show how clarity\, care\, and connection can be activated through small\, consistent actions at every level of the business.  \nYou Will Learn:  \n\nHow to talk about bandwidth and normalize conversations about capacity and support—without stigma or guilt. \n\n\nWhen to give (and ask for) control with autonomy\, prioritization\, and flexibility to reduce stress and boost engagement. \n\n\nHow aligning tasks to personal strengths boosts performance and protects energy. \n\n\nHow to know your people beyond the job to understand what drives—or drains—them and respond with compassion when life spills into work. \n\nBurnout doesn’t disappear overnight—but change starts with one intentional action. In this session\, you’ll learn how small shifts in communication\, connection\, and leadership can spark lasting transformation—for yourself\, your team\, and your culture.  \nAbout the Speaker\nJackie Ferguson\, CDE\nCo-Founder & VP of Content\, Programming\, and Products\nThe Diversity Movement\, a Workplace Options Company\nJackie Ferguson is a bestselling author\, award-winning entrepreneur\, and Vice President of Content\, Programming\, and Products at TDM.

SUMMARY:Built for the Storm: How Adaptive Leaders Rise When the World Falls Apart
DESCRIPTION:In a world on edge—where wars reshape global priorities\, AI disrupts entire industries overnight\, and economic uncertainty squeezes businesses and individuals alike—one thing is clear: disruption isn’t the exception\, it’s the environment.

It’s a blueprint for thriving when the rules change—and they always do.  \nYou’ll walk away with: \n\nHow to lead with curiosity instead of control—and why that drives better decisions\nWhat real resilience looks like (spoiler: it’s not about grinding yourself down)\nHow inclusive leaders adapt faster—and build cultures where people want to stay\nBattle-tested frameworks to help you pivot\, lead decisively\, and stay relevant—starting now \n\nIn an era defined by disruption\, adaptability isn’t optional—it’s your edge. Ready to lead like the future depends on it?  \n  \nMeet the Speaker\nDonald Thompson\nCo-founder & CEO\, The Diversity Movement\n\nDonald Thompson\, EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2023 SE Award-winner\, founded The Diversity Movement\, a Workplace Options Company\, to fundamentally transform the modern workplace through diversity-led culture change.

SUMMARY:Pride Under Pressure: How to Create a Safe Workplace for LGBTQ+ Employees
DESCRIPTION:  \nWatch the webinar on demand. \nOver the last six months\, anxiety and stress have climbed\, especially for people in the LGBTQ+ community. And no wonder. The current administration has rolled back measures protecting civil rights and preventing discrimination. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has stopped processing all sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination claims. This year alone\, 869 anti-LGBTQ+ bills are under consideration across the U.S and 72 anti-trans laws have passed in 21 states. And\, the plan to cut suicide hotline funding could have lethal consequences for our loved ones. In the face of these escalating challenges\, it’s more important than ever to reflect on how we show up for each other at work. During Pride Month\, join us for a thoughtful conversation about workplace well-being in a hostile climate. Leaders have little control over outside events\, but they can create psychologically safe and supportive work environments.   \nJoin us on June 17 at noon ET for a 1-hour free webinar hosted by The Diversity Movement’s LGBTQ+ inclusion expert\, Susie Silver. We’ll explore how organizations can provide support for LGBTQ+ employees\, even as external support is eroding. Throughout the hour\, our panel will discuss:  \n\nHow to respond to current events that impact workplace well-being \nHow to demonstrate authentic allyship \nIntersectional needs of Gen Z employees who identify as LGBTQ+ \nHow ERGs can boost belonging and provide crucial support \nHelpful LGBTQ+ resources  \n\nRegister now to get actionable and practical strategies to support your team and the LGBTQ+ community. We’ll spend a significant portion of the webinar taking audience questions. We invite you to submit them here before the webinar or you can ask questions during the presentation.   \nDiscover how cultivating psychological safety in the workplace can help organizations engage employees and create high-performing teams.

SUMMARY:The Culture Reset: Leadership and the Future of Work
DESCRIPTION:DEI as we know it is facing serious headwinds. It’s been misunderstood\, politicized\, and targeted. But here’s what hasn’t changed: companies still need talented people\, aligned teams\, and cultures where folks actually want to stay\, contribute\, and grow.  \nA healthy workplace culture is still mission-critical. It fuels innovation\, strengthens team effectiveness\, and keeps top talent around. Inclusive environments also protect against psychosocial risks—burnout\, disengagement\, and toxic team dynamics—that cost organizations millions in turnover and lost productivity.  \nThe challenge today? It’s not the why—it’s the how and the messaging.  \nIn this TDM Library webinar\, Shelley Willingham cuts through the noise to reframe diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) as a business growth strategy—and a vital tool for building psychologically safe environments where people can thrive. Whether you’re facing pushback\, navigating anxiety and fatigue\, or simply looking for a smarter\, more strategic way forward\, Shelley will give you the tools to shift the narrative and anchor inclusion to what actually drives business: people\, performance\, and profit.  \nWhat You’ll Learn:\n\nStrategies to reframe DEI for long-term traction and credibility \nLanguage that reduces resistance and inspires buy-in \nHow to integrate inclusion into leadership\, team culture\, and performance systems \nReal-world examples of organizations aligning inclusion with business success \n\nWe’re opening up this TDM Library webinar for anyone to attend. \nAbout the Speaker\nShelley Willingham\, CDE\nChief Revenue Officer\, The Diversity Movement\nShelley is a serial entrepreneur and business strategist with more than 20 years of corporate and small business experience. In 2003\, Shelley founded the National Organization for Diversity in Sales and Marketing (NODSM)\, a company focused on helping corporate America recognize the increasing purchasing power of diverse segments and helping them market to these groups without using stereotypes or being offensive. In 2006 she partnered with FORTUNE magazine on a special diversity section highlighting her work in this space. Shelley speaks at various business events and conferences\, coaches and consults aspiring entrepreneurs and business owners\, and is a frequent on-air contributor to CNBC. Shelley is a Certified Diversity Executive and leads the client acquisition strategy and execution while supporting each of the TDM business units in the development of their respective strategies.

SUMMARY:Speak Up\, Innovate\, Succeed: Strategies for Psychological Safety
DESCRIPTION:Employees face stress from multiple sources—personal responsibilities\, workplace demands\, and societal unease—often with one area affecting the others. While organizations can’t eliminate these challenges\, they can create workplaces where employees feel supported\, valued\, and empowered. A psychologically safe environment fosters open communication\, trust\, and a sense of belonging\, allowing employees to share ideas\, take risks\, and grow—ultimately driving engagement\, collaboration\, and innovation. \nWhen employees trust that they can speak up\, admit mistakes\, and drive innovation without fear of retaliation or embarrassment\, teams become more collaborative\, resilient\, and high performing. \nIn this TDM Library webinar\, Gana Diagne\, Chief Knowledge Officer of Workplace Options and co-author of the WPO Psychological Safety study\, will break down the “how tos” of psychological safety and provide strategies for leaders and teams to cultivate it in their daily interactions. Whether you are managing a team of 5 or 500\, you will leave with practical tools to foster open communication\, build trust\, and create a workplace where every employee is productive and engaged. \nPlease note: we are opening up this TDM Library webinar for anyone to attend. \nAbout the Facilitator\nGana Diagne\, Chief Knowledge Officer\, Workplace Options\nIn this role\, Gana is responsible for overseeing Workplace Options’ data management and utilization analysis and forecasting future trends of IT applications. Prior to his current role\, Gana was Vice President of Information Solutions and Development for WPO and Head of Reporting at Rehalto. Gana holds a Master’s in applied mathematics\, statistics\, and data analysis from the University of Versailles and the National Institute of Telecommunications\, France. He also earned his Master’s in business administration from the Sorbonne Business School in Paris. \nGana is also the co-author of the Workplace Options’ Psychological Safety Study. The study provides deep insight into the workplace concerns that employees face across 9 countries. Leaders can use this insight to create\, guide\, and champion culture-based initiatives and programs to reduce workplace stress and build enhanced employee engagement and psychologically safe workplaces. Unlike most workplace studies (derived from surveys or opinion)\, the Workplace Options study is built on conversations between employees and clinicians\, providing insights into concerns reflected in employee emotions\, cognitions\, and attitudes toward work.

SUMMARY:How to Measure Employee Engagement:Metrics You Can Act On
DESCRIPTION:Watch the webinar on demand. \nThe secret to success in the global marketplace is highly engaged employees. At market leading organizations\, motivated individuals and talented teams generate 18% more in sales\, are 14% more productive\, and are 4.6 times more likely to feel empowered to perform their best work. Despite these clear benefits\, many organizations aren’t measuring employee engagement accurately. They rely on surveys that provide limited information and fail to identify trouble spots. Consequently\, CHROs\, Chief People Officers and their teams lack the necessary information to launch strategies that improve workplace morale. But when leaders measure and track employee sentiment in detail—by location and in real time—they can ensure all employees remain engaged and productive.  \nJoin us Thursday\, February 20\, at 2 p.m. EST\, for a one-hour webinar explaining how to measure and track employee engagement. We will explore:  \n\nSetting employee engagement goals for your teams and organizations \n\n\nUsing surveys\, well-being data\, and internal communications to gather quantitative data that can be tracked \n\n\nGathering qualitative feedback through casual check-ins and intentional conversations \n\n\nAnalyzing engagement metrics and acting on feedback to create a motivated and productive workforce\, no matter the size of your team

SUMMARY:The Power of Connection: How to Grow Engagement Through Manager-Employee Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Watch the webinar on demand. \nA trusting manager-employee relationship is the cornerstone of a thriving workplace.

Our expert panel will cover how: \n\nRelationship quality directly impacts employee engagement and productivity\nLeaders can strengthen relationships with their teams with specific tips you can implement right away\nTo effectively prioritize relationship-building\, even in remote and hybrid workplaces\nTo navigate and enhance relationships on multigenerational\, diverse teams\n\nWatch the webinar on demand for expert insights that will help you transform workplace relationships into a foundation for long-term success.
