POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY TRAINING

Organizations grow differently and thrive when the focus is on building strengths in addition to improving weaknesses. Often times, however, it is difficult for organizations to determine in a structured manner how to nourish their strengths and how to harness this from their employees. Even a small percentage of improvement in employee satisfaction, engagement and resilience can result in major increases in positive business objectives.
