Creating A Positive Work Environment

(one day workshop)

Do you work in a positive or a negative work environment? The answer to that question will effect your accomplishments on the job, the satisfactions and stressors you experience, and the amount of joy you take from your work life.

Recent, very interesting research sheds a lot of light on how critical the differences between the two are. One of the most significant findings in carefully controlled, scientific studies of work teams is that “teams functioning in positive work environments are likely to outperform teams functioning in negative work environments.”

If in your workplace you want higher productivity, reduced staff turnover, better problem solving skills, fewer errors, and much more – you need to invest one day of your time in learning what the research clearly shows and what you can do to influence desired changes.

This training will look at more than a dozen things that managers and line staff can do to make positive changes in their work environments. These changes are important to both the organization’s bottom line and each employee’s experience of the work they do.

Key Topics:

• What is the research evidence: positive environment vs. negative environment?
• Your own interactive style (a questionnaire)
• How to assess your work environment
• Measuring a work-team’s interactive style
• The Law of Attraction as applied to work environments
• Key things to focus on when you want to influence change
• Things an individual can do
• How a team, working together, can change their environment
• Active-constructive vs. passive-destructive responses
• From self-talk to team-talk, how you phrase it makes a difference

The Process

We will move from personal analysis and the use of questionnaires, to small group work, to skill practice, to lots of group interactions. Some lecturettes.
Finally, individual action planning.

Anticipated Outcome

• You will leave having a clearer picture of your team’s environment and what needs to improve
• You will have a plan about what you can do personally to influence things
• You will take back both information and techniques that the whole team will want to look at
