Managers and supervisors experience unique demands and stressors associated with their organizational role. This workshop will build on the previous workshop content and go beyond providing attendees a frame for their own self-care to help them instill a practice model in the work environment that promotes the resilience, effectiveness, and longevity of their staff.
This workshop is designed to cultivate the wellbeing and psychological resilience of attendees and help them better support those with whom they work. Psychological resilience is associated with satisfaction in the workplace and with decreased burnout. This in turn will foster greater longevity and effectiveness of LA County employees. When this is realized, the public is better served.
Participants will learn to:
- Identify the stresses associated with work as a public servant;
- Define the role of supervisors and organizations in 1) alleviating staff “self-care burden” and 2) facilitating a protective work environment; and
- Put into practice a 5-factor model of supervision and public service engagement that changes the real-time work experience from one that is draining to one that is energizing.
