Hello Colleagues-
You all may remember last fall when Extension Administration conducted a survey around Behavioral Health in the workplace. In response to that survey, we collaborated with our partners at Columbia University's ROTA-C and have developed a zoom training that will be offered Wednesday, April 9th from 11a-12:30p. Please forward this opportunity to your staff and networks.
Description:
Experiences of job-related stress are quite common in just about every profession, CCE Associations included. Stress may be experienced because of “cultural” conflicts in the workplace (e.g., due to leadership styles, discord among colleagues, blurring of work/life boundaries, etc.) and/or expectations associated with the conduct of the work (e.g., pressure to meet demands or deadlines, conflict with program participants and other members of the community, emotionally or physically demanding work, etc.). These stressors can negatively impact workers in many ways including job productivity, work engagement, interpersonal communication, irritability with co-workers and program participants, and emotional wellness. Talking about stress at work can feel too personal and therefore be intimidating. However, building awareness of workplace stress, burnout and anxiety can be a critical first step toward personal and workplace wellness. Join this interactive conversation to find out what folks across Extension identify as present stressors and hear about strategies that could potentially be implemented to improve staff well-being and productivity. Your voice will help to create a more productive and positive work experience.
Participants will gain an understanding of:
1. Specific stressors identified in the recent CCE statewide workplace survey.
2. The impact of stress on job performance as it relates to both the influences of workplace culture as well as the pressures of work responsibilities/expectations.
3. Strategies for setting boundaries to help you achieve a healthy work/life balance.
4. How to address the stigma and challenge misconceptions around the importance of and the appropriate role for the inclusion of behavioral health in your work.
5. Effective means of communicating and resolving stress
