Online Support Groups
We are living in a difficult time – as if you hadn’t noticed! As a result, managers are being asked to spend significantly more time and energy attending to their teams’ emotional / psychological wellbeing, which is draining and increases the risk of burnout. Not to mention the fact that rarely are managers experienced in dealing with the kind of issues that many employees are currently facing. Allow me to ease these burdens.
My one-hour online support groups are facilitated weekly, fortnightly, or monthly; depending on the intensity of your employees’ needs.
There is no specific theme, although I always start with a dialogue stimulator and ensure we end on a positive note. Essentially, the participants guide the session with whatever they want to talk about and I facilitate, reflect, direct, redirect, etc.
Any number of employees can attend, up to one hundred. The cost to you for the session is a set-fee regardless of the number of participants.
Some people come to talk and some just to listen… either way, support is gained and the load on your managers is eased.
Contact me if you would like more information or to book a support group for your team / organisation.
