A recent study on the impact of employee mental health across organizations showed that almost 79% of employees quit their jobs due to lack of appreciation and 77% of businesses report a lack of quality leadership. There is a considerable gap in understanding the role of a leader and implementing quality leadership in an organization. In the face of this predicament, optimism creates a foundation that allows leaders to nurture a positive outlook toward leadership.

Plusitives—a development solutions company—uses positive psychology or “science of happiness” to empower leaders to better understand their role in employee management. These programs are designed using science-based and experiential learning methodologies to train clients to pursue the role of a worthy leader.

Through positive experience, individual traits, and academic institution, Plusitives tailors each program to deliver an optimal approach towards leadership development and employee engagement, paving the way for the creation of a sustainable employment model. The evaluation and outcome of these programs establish leadership in a pragmatic manner that emphasizes growth from a leadership perspective.

“Our brain functions better when it feels safe. We create a safe learning environment for our participants to think out of the box and accept challenges so that they enjoy the resolution process. I think this is the strong point for Plusitives,” says Ms. Ruttanun Klewpatinond, Director of Learning at Plusitives.

The programs are based on neurosciences, applicable to the leadership realm. The company’s approach to building the programs by incorporating positive psychology in leadership establishes a sustainable improvement in employee competencies and wellbeing. With the onset of the pandemic, Plusitives took up the responsibility of transcending leadership by combining relevant technology with development programs that essentially empower leaders and their employees. Through blended modules, Plusitives upskills clients using a “brain- friendly” approach to leadership development, moderated through virtual platforms and in-person sessions. Participants embrace an experiential learning methodology, resulting in a clear and lasting experience. Self-learning modules online are also available in support of clients, thus are given the liberty to access these programs from the comfort of their schedule, which incorporates a flexible learning process for the benefit of workflow. More importantly, Plusitives can analyze the needs in leadership and progressively develop a model that establishes sustainability within an organization.
The programs and workshops designed by Plusitives follow a step-by-step process that starts from the prelearning stage, advancing toward group sharing sessions with post-learning activities. Upon completing the learning process, Plusitives sets up a group sharing session for each client to exchange stories of how the training brought success to their organization. Leadership panels from organizations that have incorporated this training module have noticed a change in the mindset and competencies of employees, including a boost to morale.

Organizational leadership plays a vital role in the growth of team morale. With the market focusing on growth, the importance of promoting a safe learning environment cannot be understated. Plusitives doubles down on the importance of a positive mindset among leadership by building on two cuttingedge fields of psychology, positive psychology and neuroscience. These tailored programs create foundational development in the field of leadership, bridging the gap of understanding its core tenets.
