Business Romanticism: How to Create More Meaning (and Even Magic) at Work
According to a recent Gallup Poll, only 13% of employees worldwide are “engaged” at work, and 1 out of 3 are considering leaving their job. What is causing this disengagement, and how can we fix it?
In this Issues in Depth webinar, Tim Leberecht, CMO of design firm NBBJ and author of the book The Business Romantic, will share how we can find and create more meaning, and even magic, by designing workplaces that connect us with something greater than ourselves.
Whether you’re looking to find more meaning in your own career or want to build stronger engagement within your team, join this webinar to learn techniques to design more enchanted workplace experiences and bring magic back to the 9 to 5.
