Curiosity: The Key to Improving Engagement, Productivity and Innovation

Companies lose hundreds of billions a year due to productivity and communication-based issues. There is one word that Harvard Business Review recently called the “Gold Rush” term of the moment. That word is curiosity. By improving curiosity, employees can be more innovative, more engaged, and more productive. However, employees must be trained to improve their natural state of curiosity and be rewarded for their efforts. Harvard Business Review found 83% of C-Suite believe they encourage curiosity, but only 52% of employees feel they are rewarded for their curiosity and therefore are less likely to provide innovative ideas to the organization. HR professionals and leaders can benefit from recent research regarding the four factors that impact curiosity. Once organizations can recognize the things that hold people back, they can develop training and development plans to improve. 

Dr. Diane Hamilton’s ground-breaking research shows the four factors that hold people back from being curious. Learn how to improve curiosity levels to be more engaged, productive, and innovative at work. 
In this webinar participants will learn:
- How FATE (fear, assumptions, technology, environment) can impact curiosity
- How major organizations have utilized curiosity to be successful
- Strategies for overcoming the factors that hold curiosity hostage
- How to create an action plan to overcome factors that impact curiosity
