Humor in the Workplace
Attention Administrative and Office Professionals!
The SCSU Center for Continuing Studies and High Impact Training invite you to attend a pair of workshops that will provide practical skills and insights into two areas important to all businesses and organizations: Thriving in Chaos and Humor in the Workplace.
Who should attend?
Thriving in Chaos is for employees and managers who wish to make small changes that will make a BIG DIFFERENCE?
Humor in the Workplace is sure to educate and enlighten all staff members from organizations and businesses of any type.
Overview:
Thriving in Chaos
Today's employees are expected to do more with less and coordinate a very complicated life outside of work, all while staying sane and happy. Many people report feeling that they've lost control of their lives. Thriving in Chaos challenges participants to confront this notion and provide the tools necessary for individuals to live a more productive and fulfilling life.
Humor in the Workplace
In this session, participants will discuss the benefits of humor on the individual and on the workplace. The discussion will include what activities are appropriate to incorporate into the workplace.
The registration deadline for each workshop is Wednesday, February 27, 2008.
