Management Training

Employees are the most important determinant of organizations’ effectiveness, and developing and retaining talent at the field level is critical to the future of the Jewish communal sector. Investing in management skills has an outsized impact - it improves the performance of the supervisor and, in turn, the performance and engagement of their current and future direct reports.

Cultivating Team Wellness

Instructors: Yavilah McCoy, CEO and Founder, Dimensions Educational Consulting, Josh Feldman, Founder and CEO, and Rachel Zieleniec, Chief Program Officer, R&R: The Rest of Our Lives; and Sarah Waxman, Founder and CEO, At the Well

Over the last few years, we have been confronted with many work-adjacent challenges. Covid, natural disasters, and the Israel-Hamas War, have shaken our sense of normalcy and have ongoing ramifications for the way that employees show up at work. How can managers cultivate a sense of wellbeing among their direct reports to ensure that people can take care of themselves so that we can get the important work done? Join JPro for a three-part Master Class highlighting three ways that managers can foster a culture of rest and wellness at work: through individual behaviors, staff meetings, and across organizational culture. 

This class is for you if: 

  • You are a manager looking for ideas and support in promoting a culture of wellbeing in your workplace.  
  • You understand the importance of creating opportunities for rest on your team, but aren’t sure where to start.  
  • You are looking for concrete examples of how you can integrate rest into your team’s/organization’s culture.  

This class is not for you if: 

  • You are not willing to experiment with different approaches to promoting employee wellbeing.  
  • You are interested in promoting wellbeing, but do not have influence over setting team culture.
