Squash the Sunday Scaries
with returning speaker Mary Baird
Employees are burned out, trust is fragile, and too many people are quietly dreading work before the week even begins. In this practical, energizing keynote, Mary Baird shares how HR leaders and people managers can use employee experience as a business strategy to rebuild trust, reduce friction, and reignite workforce momentum.
Based on her book, Squash the Sunday Scaries, this session introduces a simple framework for identifying what is breaking the employee experience and where to focus first. Attendees will walk away with practical tools to listen better, act faster, and create a 30-day action plan to improve the way people experience work.
After attending this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify the key workplace friction points that contribute to disengagement, burnout, and “Sunday Scaries.”
- Apply the Employee Experience Flywheel™ to prioritize the right actions for rebuilding trust and improving workforce performance.
- Create a practical 30-day action plan to improve employee experience in a way that supports better people and business outcomes.
