Description

Self-paced learning sessions focused on what leaders can do to foster and maintain a healthy workplace. We identify and describe five core focal areas that leaders can use immediately to enhance the health of their workplace: recognition; involvement; growth & development; health & safety and teams.

At the end of these sessions, participants will be able to:

  • describe the notion of a healthy workplace
  • identify five ways in which they, as leaders, can contribute to the health of their workplace
  • understand how their actions influence others
  • implement effective leadership practices to enhance the health of their workplace
