WorksWorkshop: Small Spaces – the key to a sustainable work lifehop: Mellemrum – nøglen til et bæredygtigt arbejdsliv

In this workshop, we explore the importance of the “small spaces” we create throughout the day – the intentional pauses that give our bodies and brains time to recover. We look at what happens when we’re always “on,” and how even the smallest breaks can be vital for focus, joy at work, and sustainable wellbeing.

Participants gain knowledge, concrete tools, and a sensory-based experience that opens up reflection and new shared habits.

Takeaways:

  • A better understanding of the brain’s need for recovery

  • Inspiration for building pauses and natural rhythms into your day

  • A shared language and practice around a sustainable work life

Understand strain before it becomes stress

This workshop helps you identify and talk about types and levels of strain before they develop into stress or poor wellbeing. Together, we build a shared understanding of what affects us differently – from classic overload to moral and existential strain.

Through reflection and dialogue, you’ll be equipped to take preventive action – as a team.

Takeaways:

  • Insight into different types of strain

  • A common language for wellbeing and distress

  • A strong foundation for future wellbeing efforts

  • A day to remember – and feel

A different kind of conversation about stress – with space for reflection and new insights

Workshop: Why haven’t we cracked the code on stress yet?

Stress is complex, and many workplaces struggle to find lasting solutions. In this workshop, we take a close look at why stress is still so widespread – and how we can begin to approach it more wisely.

We explore the personal, structural, and cultural layers that affect our wellbeing, and participants gain tools to understand and prevent stress in a new way.

Well-being analysis

Get an in-depth insight into departmental wellbeing and a data-based action plan.

The wellbeing analysis gives you as a manager concrete, relevant, and anonymized feedback on your employees’ stress levels and body awareness. The analysis reveals how specific levels of pressure are distributed across the department, identifies development points, and offers recommended actions to improve wellbeing.

Process and content

All employees fill out a short questionnaire about stress and body awareness, which takes about 6 minutes. The questionnaire is completed immediately before the workshop and again a month later, giving a clear picture of the department's development over time. There is an option to add specific questions that are particularly relevant to your situation.

For the manager

You receive an anonymized report with insights into employee stress levels and body awareness, including distribution of the different levels of pressure, identified development areas, and concrete recommendations for future actions.

For employees

Each employee receives personalized feedback based on their responses. This provides an individual insight into their own stress and body awareness and their development over time.

Integrated with workshops

If the Wellbeing Analysis is purchased together with a workshop, the report will include themes from the workshop. After the report is completed, we offer 30 minutes of online dialogue where the manager receives guidance on the content of the report and possible future actions.

Thank you for your order!

We have received your interest in our additive options and will follow up via email within 1-3 working days. We look forward to taking the next steps together with you.
