CREATING A MORE COMPASSIONATE AND PRODUCTIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT

70% of Americans report overwhelming workplace stress

At YWCA, we help organizations of all kinds — business, government and nonprofit — transform performance through the power of inclusion.

Inclusivity is the bedrock of any successful workplace, and is a guiding principle that nurtures understanding, opportunity and harmony between employees. By appreciating the differences and commonalities of each individual, your team can create a more productive, innovative and positive work environment that drives better business results.

Our  Empower.Ed consulting services and training can help your business to build more inclusive and productive workplaces for all your employees. Through diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging training programs, we work with you to help improve employee dynamics — delivering improvements to your bottom line in the process.

Becoming a more Compassionate Workplace

EMPOWER.ED is the natural evolution of Heather Labbe’s Trauma Informed Intuitive Yoga Program she teaches at YWCA New Britain.

The program is an evidenced-based approach to stress resilience with a focus on mindful self-compassion and listending to and trusting yourself and your body.

The program is designed to teach

  • Greater clarity and resilience
  • Social and emotional intelligence
  • Better decision making through increased focus
  • Burnout reduction practices
  • Renewal of sense of purchase and empowerment
  • Connected, compassionate care

We tailor our EMPOWER.ED consulting by including an organizational workplace compassion assessment for employees and senior management followed by analysis and development of an action plan which includes a series of workshops tailored to helping your organization create a more compassionate tomorrow.  Your solution may be some or all of these programs:

Here's what our clients are saying

Hartford HealthCare’s Behavioral Health Network began offering trauma-informed yoga to guide patients back from violent experiences. We know it doesn’t have to be medication or talk therapy to help heal body and mind.

“Our intensive outpatient clients, who are acutely ill and recently left the hospital, come here for more support and coping skills. They love this... yoga is not typically accessible for many due to cost and transportation. I don’t believe a lot of patients would try it independently, but Heather makes it so comfortable for them".
