Happiness and Meaning at Work: facilitating employee engagement with positive psychology.

Happiness has been shown to improve well-being, creativity, engagement and productivity in organisations.  This training provides practical solutions derived from positive psychology and appreciative inquiry for creating an engaged, committed and motivated workforce.  It may also be used as part of a broader employee-engagement intervention.

We run courses for Managers to equip them with the tools to achieve these benefits. We look at personality factors, team structures, job design, reward structures, communication styles, coaching and cognitive behavioural techniques.   We also run courses for groups of employees to give them the tools and techniques to raise their happiness levels and identify personal factors contributing to meaning.

Depending on requirements this course addresses issues including:

• What is happiness and ‘flow’? 
• Developing a sense of purpose, belief and meaning in work.
• Assessments to identify signature strengths and personal values.
• Appreciating the value of personal contribution.
• Techniques for thinking positively.
• How to create and maintain positive and cohesive working relationships.
• How to make use of social resources for support, development and enjoyment.
• Solutions to enhance participation and co-operation in the workplace.
• The value of positive communication.
• Implementing a reward culture.
• Providing opportunities for meaningful growth and development.
• Creating a healthy physical environment.
• Finding an acceptable work-life balance.

This course provides a radical shift in thinking and has a powerful impact on employee engagement.  The refreshing emphasis on positive experience and strengths-based development provides rewards for both employees and organisations.
