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.
