ReplyDeletePresent Economical situation emphasize strain and pressure on firms teams.

Very often the trainings explain and decompose the mechanisms which are at the origin of the stress, the conflicts, of the absenteeism.
It is necessary to go farther if we want that these trainings are recognized as effective, that is to give useful tools from day to day, That each can appropriate and especially avoid the stumbling blocks of the trainings going astray on the personal fulfillment.
Be able to propose also short trainings, because companies are sad has to kick away their co-workers.
We can greet on the subject the initiative of a company which advanced in this domain.
Other initiatives should be born
