This course is grounded in serious research from the philosophy and psychology of human experience, with a particular focus on the experience of working. This is a short course to introduce you to principles of the psychodynamics of work and show you some ways that these principles can be applied in the workplace to improve working life and create psychosocial safety. Even if you are in a great workplace, these insights will inspire new ways of making working life even better. The course is designed to build a different and deeper understanding of what working is so that workers and workplaces can grow and flourish through self-understanding, healthy relationships and shared problem-solving. There are four (4) modules, each with an audio presentation, downloadable resources, activities and multiple-choice quiz questions. You should complete the modules in order of 1-4 since each builds upon the previous module, but you can do them in any order. Participants need to achieve 80% in the quizzes to complete each module. You can have multiple attempts at the quizzes. When you complete all 4 modules you will receive a certificate of completion.
