This virtual workshop will focus on learning how to engage decision-makers in reviewing appreciation and recognition of employee suggestions, against evidence or practice-based approaches for policies and procedures.

This session should include decision-makers who are able to authorize a plan of action to improve psychological health and safety. These may be different decision-makers from other workplace stakeholders. Employees, leaders and union representatives can all contribute to a plan for improving recognition and appreciation.

This session will focus on the next step in the process of team appreciation and recognition which is to engage decision makers in reviewing employee suggestions against evidence or practice-based approaches. The main objective in this workshop is to modify or create policies and procedures that improve appreciation and recognition for the organization.

Creating Change is the second course in the Recognition and Appreciation Workshop Series. Creating Awareness, the first workshop in this series, provided learning for each psychosocial factor and must be done prior to completing the Creating Change workshop as the content has been created to build on the previous workshop to ensure your plan of action is both accepted and effective in creating sustainable change.

The link for this session will be sent to you one day before the session.
