Work Place Dynamics 5 Our Mission 6 Our Mission To transform the psychological and relational dynamics of your organisation Organisations are living machines that work to produce a product or provide a service. If we look beneath the surface, we can see multiple people working together - like cogs turning towards a common goal. Good working relationships and emotionally intelligent and resilient individuals are fundamental to keeping an organisation working well. At times the connections between cogs in machines can become disjointed and the cogs themselves can become broken and worn out. Similarly, the psychological dynamics of a workplace can become fraught with difficulty and people can become burnt out through relational and emotional stressors. At Work Place Dynamics we are uniquely interested in understanding and transforming psychological dynamics that impact your organization. We accomplish this through our four unique training streams: Wellbeing, Power, Group and Service. Since 2011 our team of psychologists have successfully worked with numerous organisations including corporations, law firms, criminal justice agencies and charities. Please contact us today to book your free consultation and find out more about how we could help you. Maktuno Suit Director of Work Place Dynamics
Work Place Dynamics 7 The Problem 8 The Problem Organisations tend to primarily focus on developing employees technical abilities and there is less emphasis given to those psychological and relational aspects of work that are essential to high performance. This negatively impacts organisations and leads to them producing negative outputs such as: Low productivity Absenteeism Disengagement High Staff Turnover Conflicted relationships Stress 29bn cost of sick bills to UK businesses per year (PWC, 2013) 4 x that of global counterparts 42% of employees have left jobs because of a bad boss (Approved Index, 2015) 37% of work related sickness from 2015/16 was stress accounted (LFS, 2015/16) 35% of UK workers are disengaged from their jobs (Hay Group, 2013)

Work Place Dynamics 13 Our Clients 14 Our Clients They use a highly practical and interactive approach that encourages delegates to identify the different types of challenging clients, their characteristics and how they impact lawyers emotionally. Feedback has been excellent and the workshops have been particularly useful for those lawyers who advise individuals/ private clients, who may also be potentially vulnerable. Work Place Dynamics has provided me with a confidential place to hone my skills as a manager. They have helped me to identify areas where I can grow and introduced me to exciting concepts that help me to manage others. I feel more confident in my position of leadership and feel far more positive about the future. Power Training Participant Head of L & D Russell Cooke LLP I feel like Work Place Dynamics has helped me to achieve a much better work-life balance. The seminars helped me to realise that with a few small tweaks to my working day I can provide myself with more space to recharge and it has meant that my afternoons are far more productive. Wellbeing Training Participant The training has helped me to think about the importance of clients perceptions of the service I am offering. It has helped me to be more boundaried and made me realise the importance of listening to customers to maximize the quality of their experience. My communication skills have definitely improved due to the training. Service Training Participant
