Wired to Become: Navigating Change and Finding Purpose with Dr. Britt Andreatta

Calling all managers! Learn how to support your employees' sense of purpose and unlock their full potential.

In this episode of the HR Mixtape podcast, host Shari Simpson interviews Dr. Britt Andreatta, CEO of Brain Aware Training, about the intersection of neuroscience, leadership, and purpose in the workplace. The conversation explores the importance of finding balance between happiness and purpose, how HR professionals can help employees unearth their sense of purpose, and the role of managers in encouraging employees to fulfill their potential.

Three key takeaways from this episode are:

1. Happiness and purpose are both important for employee well-being. While happiness focuses on immediate joy, purpose provides a deeper sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.
2. HR professionals can support employees in discovering their purpose by making it a common conversation, asking about their sense of purpose during hiring and onboarding, and providing resources for self-reflection and exploration.
3. Managers play a crucial role in helping employees fulfill their potential by setting goals, pushing them out of their comfort zones, and removing roadblocks that hinder their growth. When employees feel supported in their purpose, they are more likely to be resilient, have better health, and stay with the company.
