    PRESENTATION INFORMATION: 

    "For the Love of Mondays: How to Design Organizational Systems for Your Most Productive Work Week"

    The Sunday scaries are real—and they're costing your organization talent. Employees dread Monday mornings not because they don't care about their work, but because they anticipate another week of being busy all day without clarity on what they actually accomplished.

    Why This Matters to HR

    As HR professionals, you are the architects of human potential with the unique power to transform this experience. Traditional productivity advice focuses on individual time management, but the real solution lies in designing organizational systems that eliminate systematic productivity traps.

    This presentation directly addresses key HRCI competency areas:

    Business Leadership: Align human capital strategy with organizational business strategy through workforce productivity systems

    Leadership and Strategy: Design and execute HR plans aligned to strategic goals, develop workplace practices supporting organizational values, and manage effective change strategies for performance alignment
