Session Overview <br />Flourish: Evidenced Based Strategies for Improving your Work and Life <br />Professor Theresa Glomb <br />The Toro Company -David M. Lilly Chair in Organizational Behavior <br />Department of Work and Organizations, Carlson School of Management <br />Session Better at Work: Evidence Based Practices for Sustainable Performance and Well <br />Overview Being is a blend of research, personal stories, and practical micro -interventions <br />centered around the themes of "Work Hard. Have Fun. Choose Kind. Be Present." <br />Research in each of these 4 themes is woven together with personal practices <br />and ways to implement small, practical disciplines to improve your work life. <br />Learning <br />outcomes <br />This session presents the science and practice of small, practical micro - <br />interventions or "work hacks" designed to create more fulfilling, productive, and <br />satisfying work lives. The session will present rigorous research showing how <br />small changes designed to bring greater intentionality to one's work can have a <br />big impact on work and wellbeing. The session will share dozens of practical, <br />evidence -based ideas. Application can generalize to personal, team, or <br />organizational practices. <br />The audience will leave empowered to challenge themselves and their work <br />settings to implement small, practical, science backed disciplines and work hacks <br />to improve their workplace wellbeing. As an additional option with increased <br />time, participants then activate the content with breakout sessions and <br />interactive activities designed to craft routines and share insights. <br />Participants will increase their ability to: <br />• Improve performance and well-being at work. <br />• Be more intentional and recognize the power individuals have to improve <br />our work lives <br />• Create positive experiences at work through growth, happiness, and <br />satisfaction. <br />Session Topics The session is structured around four pillars: <br />(1) Work hard (2) Have fun (3) Choose kind (4) Be present <br />1. Work hard. This segment presents evidenceshowingthat making <br />progress on meaningful work is one of the surest routes to positive mood <br />states and fulfillment at work. The problem is that our work <br />environments make it hard to stay focused, especially when workers are <br />depleted. I suggest simple work hacks like parking downhill, replacing <br />time management with intention management, and ready to resume <br />interventions to deal with interruptions. <br />
