Course Details
Assessments Session 1 Understanding Workplace Culture, Conflict & Health In this session we introduce a model that we use to assess the cultural and organizational health of a workplace. This model contains 6 separate checklists that help:
Session 2 The Process of Facilitating Workplace Health and Psychological Health & Safety In accordance with the extensive work of our friend and colleague, Dr. Martin Shain – co-author of the Psychological Health and Safety Standard, we explore a process that we use to engage workplace participants in the success of a Workplace Health Assessment. We explore the principle of "client-centered process design" as we discuss the challenges associated with chartering a health assessment team and delivering an assessment process. This is seen as a crucial part of an ongoing Workplace Restoration. Session 3 Buidling the Business Case For Workplace Health and Psychological Health & Safety The most significant barrier in the way of health and fairness in the workplace is that it is still seen as a “nice to have”. In this session we will explore how to make the case that psychological health and safety and fairness are “must haves” for the ultimate success of the organization. We will workshop business plans and strategies to sell health and fairness both internally and externally.
