Joyful Workplace Design: Help Your Team Get Its Energy Back

Yolanda Fraction

Workplace Designer | Leadership Advisor

Your people are burnt out. Solve beyond temporary solutions that don't work.

Why This Workshop Matters

Your people are burnt out.

If you manage, lead or develop people, you feel it too.

Your high-performers are checking out. You're stretched thin. People are showing up, but the energy is not the same.

You’ve seen the pattern: engagement surveys, listening sessions, wellness initiatives, training, and your people have taken the PTO. Some things changed, for a moment. Yet your team returns to the same workload, unclear priorities, meeting overload, and the pressure to do more with less.

What is missing is not another program. It is a design.

In this 90-min. workshop, you will learn Joyful Workplace Design™, an evidence-informed framework for people managers, senior leaders, HR, OD, L&D, and those who support people.

Apply the design to your current challenges. Learn to spot the smoke signals, identify what is draining energy, and design conditions that result in trust, accountability, engagement, performance, and behavior that lasts.

Leave with practical tools, a clear framework, and a design you can use to help your team get its energy back.

What you’ll learn

Learn why burnout is not just an individual issue and use Joyful Workplace Design™ to restore team energy.

  • Recognize when burnout points beyond individual resilience or poor boundaries.

  • Name the workplace conditions that make exhaustion more likely.

  • Use people science to challenge the myth that PTO alone solves burnout.

  • Look at workload, pace, meetings, handoffs, unclear priorities, and pressure.

  • Identify where expectations are outpacing capacity or support.

  • Spot the patterns that keep your team running on fumes.

  • Assess trust, clarity, agency, transparency, fairness, mutual accountability, and belonging.

  • Identify which condition needs attention first on your team.

  • Connect each condition to engagement, energy, and performance.

  • Move beyond training as the only answer to manager or team behavior.

  • Identify what is rewarded, tolerated, modeled, or blocked in the system.

  • Create structures that make the desired behavior easier to practice.

  • Bring a current challenge such as burnout, low trust, or meeting overload.

  • Use the Joyful Workplace Design™ lens to uncover what needs to shift.

  • Leave with a starting design and next steps you can use with your team.

  • Shift from managing tasks to caring for the conditions people work within.

  • Use clearer language to name what is happening and why it keeps happening.

  • Build a stronger case for changes that support energy, accountability, and results.

Workshop agenda

  • Come As You Are and Bring a Challenge

    We will start by settling in, naming what brought people to the workshop, and choosing one team or workplace challenge to work through.

  • See Burnout as a Design Signal

    We will look at burnout, low energy, disengagement, and repeated team patterns as signals that something in the work may need attention.

  • Learn the Joyful Workplace Design™ Framework

    You will learn the core conditions that shape team energy, trust, accountability, engagement, performance, and behavior change.

  • Spot What Is Draining Energy

    You will identify where energy may be leaking through workload, unclear priorities, meetings, communication, handoffs, decision making, accountability, or rewards.

  • Apply the Framework to Your Challenge

    You will use Joyful Workplace Design™ to make sense of your own challenge, name what may need to shift, and begin designing a better way forward. Receive consultation and advice in real-time.

  • Leave With a Next Step in Place

    You will leave with clearer language, practical tools, and a starting point you can use with your team, manager, stakeholders, or organization.
