Workplace Health Workshops

This session is designed to assess what life balance means to you and finding the right balance that works for you. Trying to schedule an equal number of hours for work, home and sleep does not equate to balance.

To get the balance ‘right’ for ourselves, we need to understand how our needs are being met (or how they remain unmet) and how we can maintain or move towards balance depending on our current life circumstances.

The objectives of this session are:

• Defining Life Balance – understanding  what Life Balance means to you
• Assessing current level of balance
• Identifying ways to achieve balance
• Choices for improved life balance
• Stress Awareness & Productivity
• Activity Audit – for more efficient working

Duration: 1 hour
