WORK LIFE BALANCE WORKSHOPS
An organisation’s productivity and profitability is largely dependent upon the mental, physical and emotional wellbeing of its workforce. Most people rank work life balance as highly important when seeking a new role. Whilst many organisations are now focused on creating more flexible workplaces, research tells us we still have a long way to go in assisting people to achieve the balance they desire.

Our work life balance workshops are designed to help people clarify what balance means to them and assist them in creating manageable and lasting change that will have an impact on their happiness. Recent research coming out of the US tells us that happy people are more engaged with their work, build better relationships with colleagues and clients, have less sick days and remain in a role longer.  Our focus is on helping your employees understand that happiness is accessible and it can often be as simple as learning to make the most of each day.

WORKSHOP FORMAT - ONE HOUR OR HALF DAY
One Hour Talk 'Work Life Balance - Making The Most of Each Day'
Our one hour talk is delivered to groups of up to 100. The focus is on encouraging your team to review their commitments (both professionally and personally) and prioritise the things that matter. Kate discusses ways to get past the barriers including changing the way you think and practical time management tools. Prior to finalising your talk, she will speak to you about your team's key issues - you may like to include tips for improving motivation at work or extend the focus on time or stress management.

‘Kate, just a note to say a big thank you for the talk last night. The feedback was very positive and I think that we all took something away from it. Your style is great, with just the right balance of relaxed delivery without diminishing the importance of the material, and engaged the group throughout. I hope we can work together in the future.’
Brian Peters, Competency Executive, Terra Firma
