May
Moving into May it’s time to think about how we connect to each other. While many people consider relationships to be what we have with friends and families it’s important to consider the benefits and impacts we have with work colleagues, customers and the broader cultural collective within our community.

Reflecting on Relationships
Research has shown that the benefits of strong relationships extends beyond improving mental and emotional health. While decreased anxiety and depression, higher self-esteem, and greater empathy and trust are the well-known bonuses, strong, healthy relationships can also help you strengthen your immune system, speed up disease recovery and may even lengthen your life!
Managing relationship issues in the workplace can feel challenging. From interpersonal relationships within teams to the impact of personal and family relationships on individuals, knowing how to support members of your team, can be the key to creating a happy, productive and positive workplace.

Service Highlights
Conflict Assist
Every organisation and working relationship has the potential to be affected by conflicts, disagreements and relationship breakdowns.
The impacts of conflict on mental fitness are real. Conflicts often begin as small issues that have the potential to develop into dislike, distrust and broken relationships that affect employee wellness and productivity.
Our Conflict Assist consultants can work with you to:
- restore a harmonious workplace focused on successful and productive teams
- build stronger, more supportive relationships to positively address disagreements before they lead to open conflict
- help identify the behaviours and situations that lead to conflict
- find common ground and create a collaborative and supportive environment.
