Mental Health – Stress & Resilience Management for a Positive Thinking Workplace

Creating a Workplace Culture That Encourages Good Mental Health and Employee Wellbeing.

Benefits of the two-day Workshop:

  • Enhanced productivity – Rather than becoming flustered or stressed by everything that we’re confronted with, we can learn to compartmentalise different things that need to be done.
  • More adaptive responses to stress – When encountering a difficult situation, rather than reacting instantly, we hit a mental pause button. We take a moment to view the situation objectively, which allows us to take that step back before coming up with a more rational solution to the perceived problem.
  • Smoother organisational change – equips employees to better handle these changes by viewing them less as unmanageable threats, and more as challenges to be tackled head-on.
