 WORKSHOP 3

“Workplace Wellbeing”

Employee engagement through personal and group balance

The overarching focus of this series of sessions is personal & professional balance, leading to a more satisfying & productive work environment for people at all levels.

“Workplace Wellbeing” is designed to address undercurrents that threaten morale and productivity, such as stress, conflict, trust erosion and root causes of job dissatisfaction. It is carefully crafted to set the stage for participants to process the issues and dilemmas that lead to personal and group imbalance.

The plenary sessions with employees are often accompanied by sessions for supervisors and managers of the group involved. Taken as a whole, this approach is a potent, honest, realistic journey to retain or regain a work environment where morale and motivation underpin productivity.

Careful pre-work prepares the way for buy-in and insures that the sessions are on target.

The facilitator has extensive experience in leading groups through difficult waters and welcomes the opportunity to discuss your specific situation.
