Safe work spaces
Training mental, verbal & physical resilience skills can foster communication and emotional safety at work, creating win-win situations. At the Institute, we train to boost people’s confidence and courage, resulting in constructive connections with themselves and others.
When participants have trained with us, they will have strengthened their capacity to respond to different forms of interpersonal conflict, transgressive behaviour and violence.
This will result in:
-
Improved physical & mental wellbeing.
-
Increased self awareness.
-
Increased confidence.
-
Smooth communication and teamwork.
-
Increased sense of emotional and physical safety at work.
-
Efficient and respectful dispute management amongst co-workers.
-
A supportive and inclusive work culture.
Benefits for the organisation
A resilient workforce will result in decreased levels of absenteeism, presenteeism, employee turnover and accidents and injuries.
In turn, it will increase employee engagement and company performance.
