For many employees, discussing Perceived Organizational Support (POS), employee perceptions regarding the extent to which their employer “values their contributions and cares about their well-being” (Eisenberger, Huntington, Hutchison, & Sowa, 1986, p. 501) can feel intimidating and often goes undiscussed. Many employers still lack adequate tools to support and care for employees to simply do their jobs well.
View this Thoughtful Tuesday discussion with Dr. Jesse Winn to uncover aspects of workplace resilience in a post-COVID world. During this conversation, Dr. Winn identifies barriers to Perceived Organizational Support (POS), how to promote a safe space to reflect on ways to improve workplace resilience, and offers tools on how to support your teams and peers better.
Workstream Spotlight
Thoughtful Tuesday
Thoughtful Tuesdays are the DEI Committee’s monthly virtual event with guest speakers, facilitated discussions, case studies, podcast and Ted Talk reviews, stories, and inclusion/best practice shares for the VA AWWA community that allows us to increase awareness and education, engage our membership and have courageous conversations on DEI topics. Topics are applicable to the water sector and to the overall workplace, covering both the organizational and individual perspectives around DEI.
The workstream is open to all DEI Committee members and meets once a month for one hour to plan future events and discuss any feedback or lessons learned from past events. Anyone interested in joining the workstream can reach out to Giovana Batista at giovana.batista@arcadis.com
