Vital Workplace© is a process for building, maintaining or restoring a culture of fairness, civility, respect and a sense of psychological safety within teams, departments and units – wherever people have to get on with one another to get the job done.

This goal is achieved by involving group members in a facilitated process in which they review how they function as a team and then plan how to improve their level of functioning

The Vital Workplace Survey©, a unique evidence-based assessment, is central to this process. This assessment provides a profile of the group with regard to job satisfaction, stress, civility, respect and a relatively new concept called “psychological safety”.

Target Audience:

General Audience/Employees
Frontline Managers/Supervisors
