Enhancing employees’ well-being prepares the ground for innovation in the workplace, says a management expert who will address the subject in a free public lecture Thursday, August 16, at the Odette School of Business.

Vidya Sagar Athota teaches business psychology and human resource development in the School of Business at the University of Notre Dame Australia.

His lecture, entitled “Promoting wellbeing and resilience to influence innovation” is part of the Topics in Management Research Presentation series.

“Employee resilience and well-being are intrinsically associated with workplace outcomes,” says Dr. Athota. “Towards the end of the presentation, practical tips will be provided to promote individual well-being and resilience.”

The event is set for 10 a.m. in room 321, Odette Building. To indicate your attendance, RSVP to Linda Ingram, at lingram@uwindsor.ca or 519-253-3000, ext. 3883.
