Workplace Essentials Wellness Series

Tools for Building a Productive Work Team and an Emotionally Healthy Work Environment

Thomas Consulting offers a series of workshops to improve workplace wellness and team building skills. The workshops offered can be taken as an entire series or any one or few workshops that meet your individual or company needs. It is recommended that companies with these needs take the entire workshop series to maximize the effectiveness of the trainings within the workplace. Thomas Consulting offers "Personal Advantage Service." This service provides for Sharon to meet with a representative from the contracted company to discuss the company's training needs in further detail. At this time, a questionnaire will be distributed to employees who will be attending the workshop so that employee needs, concerns, and issues that are relevant to the training can be addressed. The workshop will then be tailored to meet the specific training needs of the contracted company and it's employees.
