This fun course teachers practical strategies to find joy at work.

Taught strategies include ways to live our values in the present; ways to remain positive and hopeful; how to deal with difficult emotions and thoughts; how to 'craft' our job in a ways that provide satisfaction; how to set healthy personal boundaries at work (e.g. workload); and tools to communicate with management and colleagues in healthy ways.
The course is taught by Dr Kathryn Owler, who has conducted research on fun and enjoyment at work and co-runs a Workplace Wellness company. Please feel free to get in touch for more information. Kathryn is happy to email you an information flyer and/or have a chat on the phone.
Booking is recommended as the training room has limited space.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
