Health work­shop

Target group

Teams and working groups from all Paderborn University divisions and departments

Course objectives

In the health workshop, teams and working groups identify their specific stress factors, led by education specialist Christian Glameyer, with the main focus on stressors.
Participants then work together to develop possible solutions, which are presented to their managers in a follow-up meeting.

After an agreed period of time (e.g. 4 weeks), the implementation and effectiveness of the measures is jointly reviewed.
