Sessions - April 26, 2024

All sessions are in Mountain Time.

   - *9am-10.15am -- Dr. Brad Ward – Two Factor Theory and the Motivated
   Worker*

In this session Dr. Ward will unpack Two Factor theory and demonstrate how
it can be used to motivate the modern employee. Examples from both the
academic and practitioner literature will be presented. Participants will
be able to take initial steps to improve employee job satisfaction in their
workplaces. The nuances between engagement and motivation will be addressed.

Dr. Brad Ward (DBA, CSSGB) is an Associate Professor of Business
Administration at Milligan University, a part time consultant, and hosts
the Business Sense with Brad podcast. Prior to academia, he worked in
automotive manufacturing, with roles such as Quality Control Team Leader,
Field Supervisor, and Quality Engineer. During this time, he noticed that
most employees were not thriving. After he transitioned into academia, he
came across colleagues who were also miserable at work. This prompted him
to study employee motivation, ultimately discovering Herzberg's time tested
Two Factor Theory, and writing The Motivated Worker book.

   - *10.30am-11.45am – Susanne Markgren and Linda Miles – Transformational
   Leadership and Strategies for Self-Compassion in the Workplace*

How might the exercise of self-compassion positively impact individuals’
experiences of the library workplace? How can transformational leadership
principles promote a positive organizational culture and help set the stage
for worker wellbeing? What roles do management practices, institutional

an interactive presentation exploring these and other questions. Share your
own experiences and discover how you can contribute to an environment that
promotes self-compassion as a strategy for wellbeing.
