June 6, 2018: Improving Employee Emotions and Emotion Regulation
Wednesday, June 6, 2018, 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM
Improving Employee Emotions & Emotion Regulation with Carolyn Winslow, Ph.D
About the Webinar:
Employee affect (i.e., emotion) has the capacity to influence a wide range of organizationally-valued outcomes, including performance, creativity, decision-making, group dynamics, turnover, and behavior. Organizational scholars have begun to evaluate the effectiveness of various strategies for making substantive improvements to employee emotional well-being and emotion regulation.
This webinar will explore the role employee affect plays in organizational life, and methods for improving emotional well-being in organizations. In particular, attention will paid to self-guided activities (e.g., gratitude journaling, practicing kindness) that can serve as an alternative (or complement to) organization-level efforts, and traditional person-focused initiatives such as stress management training.
Learning Objectives :
At the completion of this activity, the learner will be able to:
- Explain the relationship between employee emotional experiences and organizationally-valued outcomes
- List several organization- and person-focused strategies for improving employee emotional experiences
- Review research on the effectiveness of self-guiding emotion regulation strategies
- Discuss opportunities for future research on employee affect and emotion regulation
