Since I was a young girl,
I have dreamed about getting a doctorate!

Crazy but true! My grandmother was unable to finish high school as she was needed to work on the farm, while my mother was not given an opportunity to attend college. Education is important and giving back is even more important.

This dream led me to a doctoral journey focused on the employee's experience of work.

Engagement and burnout form the bookends of today's work experience. My research examines how the quality of the employee-organization relationships affect where employees are on this spectrum.

I've identified different levers that impact today's employee experience, causing shifts between engagement, quiet quitting, and burnout.  My research offers insights into the dynamics that shape our current work environment.

  • Sharing my Gifts

    In my professional life, elevating the experience of work has always been important. If in a lifetime, we spend over one-third of it working, let’s make it a positive experience. From solving customer problems to leading project teams, people remember how they were treated. When people feel seen, heard, and valued; there is a positive impact on performance.

  • The Jaundiced View

    In my doctoral research, I examined the quality of the employee-organization relationship and the impact on engagement and burnout. Today’s employees are experiencing a jaundiced view of business evidenced by reduced engagement and quiet quitting. My research found a significant shift in factors contributing to high quality of relationships.

  • The Next Blue Ocean

    The loss of quality in relationships and jaundiced view of business comes at the expense of creativity and innovation, deceased performance and increased turnover. The next “blue ocean strategy” belongs to those organizations that understand the importance of high quality employee-organizations relationships.

Let’s collaborate to empower your employees.

Understanding and improving the employee experience is essential for employee engagement, well-being, and performance. 

My journey from dreaming of a doctorate to conducting research on employee-organization relationships has equipped me with unique insights and strategies to elevate your workplace.
