Workshop overview
The CHSP and home care workforce are experiencing rapid policy reform and shifting service delivery practices. For many smaller and remote organisations, this will require a dramatic shift in business operations, which can result in employees experiencing higher levels of stress and anxiety, and an increase in employee absences and attrition.
Employees need strategies to manage the impact of uncertainty and change before it leads to overwhelm. Being able to establish boundaries to ensure a work-life balance and avoid burnout is essential for individual health and wellbeing.
This two hour interactive workshop will share insights and helpful tips to enhance your ability to manage stress and prioritise self-care while facing the challenges of the next twelve months. Take the time now to invest in your own wellbeing.
Who should attend?
Managers, team leaders and anyone who would like to understand how to reduce stress and learn self-care strategies to be applied in the workplace and beyond.
The outcomes are:
- understand the impact of change on your wellbeing and leadership
- understand the personal and professional outcomes of not investing in self-care
- examine what you can and cannot influence
- identify two areas in your life that you want to make changes in to increase your wellbeing
- gain strategies and tools for self-care and stress management.
