Recommendation

Neuroscientist Friederike Fabritius offers a passionate, evidence-based approach to fostering workplace diversity and engagement. She draws on cutting-edge research demonstrating how brain chemistry informs personality, values, stress responses and cognitive styles. She makes a compelling case that workplaces should cater to the needs of employee “neurosignatures” to boost performance and retention. Her interviews with thought leaders like Thrive Global’s Arianna Huffington and molecular biologist John Medina provide inspiration and insight.

Take-Aways

  • A rare opportunity exists to make workplaces more brain-friendly.
  • Don’t try to change employees to fit an inhospitable environment; change the workplace.
  • Brain chemistry shapes people’s personalities, values and cognitive styles.
