This toolkit will help community organizers take specific steps on September 10 to change the conversation about suicide, initiate action, and foster hope in their efforts to reduce suicide in AI/AN communities across the country.

Five Pillars to Elevate Wellbeing and Engagement at Work
|
|
|
Because we spend most of our waking hours at work, the office impacts employee wellbeing for better or worse. And because emotions are contagious, it's very easy for negativity to spread in a work environment. And once that happens, according to research published in the Harvard Business Review, we see how well-being suffers, productivity goes down by 30%, creativity plummets by 10 times, and employees are 40% less likely to be promoted that year. Tending to the well-being of employees empowers them and is good for business! What you will learn in this training, is about the hidden psychological traps that sabotage one's well-being, happiness, and success at work and how to support employees with simple tools to overcome negativity and flourish.
