Engage, Retain, Excel: The Hidden Power of Happiness in the Workplace
Description: We’ve spent years chasing engagement scores, retention rates, and productivity metrics, yet the single factor that drives them all is often dismissed as “soft”: happiness. In this keynote, HR strategist and author Theresa Chilcoat reframes happiness as a measurable business strategy, not a perk. Drawing from neuroscience, positive psychology, and over 15 years in HR leadership, she reveals how emotional well-being fuels engagement, innovation, and loyalty. Participants will learn how to identify patterns that erode happiness, apply practical tools to strengthen resilience and trust, and measure the ROI of happiness initiatives that transform both performance and culture from the inside out.
