Full-time employees spend more than half of their waking hours engaged in the workplace environment, including meetings and communications with coworkers. It’s no surprise that our interactions with coworkers have a significant influence on our mental, emotional and social wellbeing.
The Wellness Program is offering an interactive mini-series to help faculty and staff members explore the science behind meaningful workplace relationships and how they contribute to overall job satisfaction and well-being.
Over four sessions, facilitator Jessica Grossmeier will delve into a science-based framework designed to help you cultivate authentic and impactful interpersonal relationships in your professional life, as well as emphasize the importance of finding a balance between personal and professional aspects of your life, enhancing both your workplace performance and overall happiness.
Guided by a skilled instructor, you will participate in breakout rooms and large group discussions to apply the concepts learned and practice integrating them into your daily conversations. Each session will focus on a specific approach to enhancing your social connections with your faculty and staff coworkers. You will have the opportunity to implement these strategies during your work week, allowing you to seek feedback and support from your peers in the subsequent class.
Sessions will be held on Wednesdays from Oct. 30 to Nov. 20 from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.
Wednesdays, October 30 – November 20, from 12-1 pm via Zoom
This program is available for benefits-eligible faculty and staff participation. Register to participate.
