Taking advanced courses in Positive Psychology with Dr. Biswas-Deiner and the School for Positive Psychology Singapore. Sometimes it is not as important to understand the reason why. Instead, it is more important to build strengths in the client to weather the storm.

Discussing with Dr. Morada how psychology can improve the well-being of  employees. Creating job satisfaction  through employee-centered policies such as succession planning, leadership development, job fit evaluation, employees become better engaged, more productive, and produce higher quality work.

Adding to the body of work on stress, job satisfaction, participation in health and well-being programs. No known study has yet been published on the effect of health and well-being programs on job productivity and work engagement.

The findings provide that stress, job satisfaction, and participation in health and well-being programs do predict employee well-being. however, of the three variables, job satisfaction has been the most significant predictor. Job satisfaction is achieved when employees find meaning and purpose at work, have built strong and meaningful relationships in the workplace, and feel that they are able to cope with work stresses.

The document further suggests that developing a wellness program that marries management of stress and overwhelm with a Cognitive Behavioural model will be an effective way towards well-being for employees.
