• 10^th November 2011 – Employment Law (Protecting your rights as an Employer)

Employment law is not one the most exciting subjects – however Amanda will bring this subject to life with everyday scenarios, up to date legislation and how to avoid the common pitfalls many employers face when dealing with employee issues.

 This workshop will be delivered by Amanda Chadwick, Peninsula Business Services

•  8^th December 2011 – Coping at work when times are hard : interventions to promote well-being and performance at work

This interactive seminar will begin with an overview of the ways in which work can undermine well-being and how this might impact on service outcomes. This will be followed by a summary of evidence based practice in employee well-being and will describe some of the actions that can be taken to help staff cope. Participants will be given the opportunity to think about next steps to promote well-being and coping in their own organisation. Information will be given on resources available to help achieve this – many are free to access.

 This workshop will be delivered by Dr Jan Hill-Tout who is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist, specialising in the area of staff support and employee well-being. She has practical experience of supporting employers and employees to cope when times are hard.
