Harmony Training Course
PsyAsia's One-Day Work-Life
Balance / Work-Life Harmony Workshop is
an interactive and practical day that imparts
the most recent knowledge and practice in
the important work-life balance arena. The
training is designed for management and supervisory
levels who are looking to find ways to improve
their staff performance by way of workplace
changes, as well as for those who wish to
learn what changes to make to improve their
own quality of home and work life. Unlike
other Work-Life courses, PsyAsia's course
is facilitated by fully registered Business
Psychologists and uses the most cutting-edge
recent research from the most prominent authorities
in this field as its foundation.
Course Timing
The course commences
at 9.30am and finishes between 5.00pm
and 6.00pm depending on discussion and
delegate needs.
Workshop Aims
and Objectives
To diagnose what is important to each
delegate on the course in terms of
their work and home life and attempt
to link these to their organisation's
goals, objectives and strategies.
To provide attendees with an understanding
of the current state of play in the
work-life balance research.
To enable delegates to make changes
to their personal and work lives to
create an improved sense of well-being
and enhanced work performance.
To facilitate delegates and their
peers, colleagues or reports to reduce
stress and increase productivity through
the learning of a number of stress
management and time management techniques.

ROI by way of performance and morale
gains.

Certification

The Work-Life Balance/Work-Life
Harmony training course has been designed
so that it is applicable to people at
all organisational levels. The only
pre-requisite is that you must be at
least reasonably happy to discuss with
others due to the practical design of
the workshop. The course can be run
in-house for up to 15 people and likewise,
our public courses take a maximum of
15 people. We welcome managers, supervisors,
directors, human resource managers,
organisational consultants, staff level
employees and self-employed persons.
Delegates will be confident
to discuss ways in which an enhanced
sense of personal well-being can be
achieved in the workplace through adopting
a number of the approaches discussed
and studied during the workshop. Delegates
will have the tools to put changes in
place that will benefit themselves and
those they work and live with.
PsyAsia's Work-Life
Balance / Work-Life Harmony Training
Workshops are facilitated by fully registered
business psychologists. As registered
psychologists who are answerable to
professional/government bodies, our
courses are respected by industry. We
know our stuff and we design our courses
based on psychological principles of
learning along with an assurance that
what we teach is firmly founded in science.
As APS psychologists we must ensure
and submit logs of continuous professional
development annually. We attend many
hours of conferences and read the cutting-edge
research journals in this area and convey
them to our delegates in a practical
and fun way. Don't choose facilitators
who have read a couple of books and
done a google search and then produced
a course based on this! Choose PsyAsia's
business psychologists whose 6+ years
of training and a career full of development
of people at work proves our passion,
and be assured of quality, integrity,
professionalism and science.
