When organizations are faced with intense market pressures, they often take on more than they can handle: they increase the number and speed of their activities, raise performance goals, shorten innovation cycles and introduce new management technologies. For a while, they succeed brilliantly but eventually the frenetic pace starts to sap employees' motivation and, ironically, begins to hamper performance. As a result, exhaustion and resignation begin to blanket the company, with dire consequences for all.

In a Harvard Business Review article, Dr Jochen Menges called this problem 'the acceleration trap' – it really is endemic of our times. In a 2018 research study, he finds that the employees that are most engaged are often the ones that are closest to exhaustion and burnout.

In this session, he will share his research, explain how you can find out whether your organisation is in the acceleration trap, how you can break free from the trap and how to avoid excessive acceleration in the future.

Have you ever been concerned about a situation and wanted to help, but didn't? Hearing a racist/sexist/homophobic joke in the tea room? Seeing an inappropriate touch of a friend? Watching a colleague wince at being belittled or interrupted in a team meeting? You're not alone, this is more common for many of us than you might think.

Come along to this short session to find out why this happens and what it means to be an active bystander. This includes simple changes and actions you can take to support others around you without confrontation and, over time, support a more inclusive environment for all of us to live and work in.
