How can training help your organisation?

Bullying and harassment, conflict at work and work-related stress are all familiar issues in the workplace.  If left unaddressed, they can cause high levels of anxiety, lower staff morale, lower productivity, result in staff sickness and lead to poor retention of staff. 

 

Training can help staff to learn about complex workplace behaviour – their own and their colleagues’ - and learn how to challenge it and manage it appropriately. 

About the trainers

I work as an independent trainer offering a range of highly rated training workshops designed to address challenging work-related issues and promote positive working environments.   My commitment is to providing a safe and supportive training environment which encourages learning and growth.  I have particular experience of training within local authorities and an understanding of the specific needs of local government and their diverse workforce. 

 

My co-trainers are Karl Gregory, a tutor at the University of Bristol and Dr. Chris Johnstone, a specialist in the psychology of change.  Together we have delivered a series of successful and well-attended trainings which encourage managers to develop their softer skills and their emotional intelligence. 

 

The workshops are designed to

  • provide practical tools and techniques for effective management

  • increase self-awareness

  • improve communication skills

  • improve well-being and productivity in teams

  • promote positive working environments

  • provide a safe and supportive training environment which encourages personal growth and professional development

 

The trainings draw on the Health & Safety Executive’s approach to managing work-related stress and on positive psychology approaches to managing change. 

 

What to do if your organisation has training needs 

Staff surveys, exit interviews, feedback from staff appraisals and sickness figures can reveal useful information about the health of your organisation.
