Meet Gaur Gopal Das, internationally renowned motivational speaker, in Colombo on March 22, 23

In the quest for corporate success, business entities highlight efficiency and productivity in their workforce. Given the speed at which situations arise and change, staff members might sometimes grapple with conditions beyond their area of expertise. There is more chance now of unhappiness in staff members than ever before because of the changes in the business arena.

However, such unhappiness can be detrimental to the output of the company, and thus, management should consider investing in the happiness of its staff members. Human Resources Departments and Staff Welfare Associations have a large role to play in the welfare of the staff, but without clear policy guidelines detailing how to achieve employee satisfaction, the departments cannot be 100 per cent effective. Thus, CEOs and upper and middle managers should be concerned with developing such guidelines to help promote happiness among their staff members.

On March 22 and 23, organisa- tional heads will have an opportunity to learn how to achieve employee happiness and why this is essential when internationally acclaimed motivational speaker, Gaur Gopal Das discusses his experience and research in many countries around the world and the Taj Samudra Colombo, the organisers of the event said in a media release.

Mr. Das is an award-winning motivational speaker and life coach from India, and his use of humour in his speeches allows him to explain difficult problems in simple ways. He has won multiple awards, including Adarsh Yuva Adhyatmik Guru Puraskar (Ideal Youth Spiritual Guru Award), Danveer Karna Award, Silver Creator Award, and Rotary International’s “Super Achiever Award “16” for his continued work as a motivational speaker and life coach.

The first session, “Happiness Forum: Improving organisational performance through happiness,” will be held on March 22 from 10 am to 4 pm. Drawing from case studies and research, the speaker will provide tools to change your organisation’s efficiency through increasing happiness. The session is divided into two subsections: “Being successful and Feeling successful”.

The second session, a CEO Forum on March 23 provides CEOs an opportunity to understand how you can get 200 per cent from your staff and also learn the secrets of success. The event is organised by Avant Premiere (Pvt) Ltd.
