Program Description
In all human environments, undertaking work activities is accepted to be good for a person’s psychological and physical well-being. That is, good work is good for well-being.
However, there are aspects of the workplace that, if not appropriately managed, have the potential to negatively affect an employee’s physical health, mental health, and sense of well-being. That way, the effectiveness of an organization to fulfil its operational requirements gets impinged.
The purpose of this training therefore is to increase Management’s as well as employees’ understanding of psychological hazards, and also promote positive well-being in the workplace the same way that the physical health of themselves and others must be taken care of.
