SUMMARY:Managing Stress and Building Resilience in the Workplace
DESCRIPTION:Managing Stress and Building Resilience in the Workplace\nScheduled Training \nDuration: 90-minute online training\nDate and Time: Tuesday\, 27 May 2025\n10:00 AM – 11:30 AM\nCost: $180 + GST per person\nAudience: All staff \nIn today’s fast-paced\, ever-changing work environment\, stress has become a constant companion. Effectively managing stress and prioritising well-being are essential skills for thriving in the workplace. This workshop is designed to provide you with practical strategies and a deeper understanding to navigate these challenges effectively. \nWe’ll explore stress and well-being from a systems perspective\, emphasising that well-being is not just an individual responsibility but a shared one. The way we perceive\, experience\, and respond to well-being affects not only ourselves but also our teams and organisations. While self-care is important\, a supportive organisational culture that prioritises mental health and well-being is crucial in preventing burnout\, reducing turnover\, and improving performance. \nOur interactive approach will examine the three levels of well-being: individual (me)\, team (we)\, and organisational (us). You’ll gain tools and strategies to enhance well-being in all areas of your work life\, helping both you and your team thrive personally and professionally. \nLearning Outcomes: \n\nUnderstand the science of stress and its effects on the brain and body.\nLearn the importance of mental health and well-being in both personal and professional contexts.\nPractical techniques for managing daily stress and building resilience.\nUnderstand the interconnectedness of well-being at individual\, team\, and organisational levels.\nStrategies for creating supportive teams and organisations that prioritise well-being.\nIdentify effective policies and processes that promote well-being.\nRole modelling and leadership strategies for fostering a culture of well-being.\nTechniques to improve motivation\, psychological safety\, and overall performance.\nLearn how to sustain well-being practices for long-term organisational health.\n\nTrainer Bio:\nErin Johnson\nErin Johnson is a skilled trainer and experienced social worker with over 20 years of experience in community settings\, particularly in youth services and mental health. She has extensive experience facilitating group work and delivering specialised training programs\, including Self-Care and Well-being workshops. \nErin’s expertise spans policy development\, consumer participation\, and service management\, all driven by her passion for social justice and enhancing community well-being.
