Emotion Awareness Day in Workplaces:

The workplace is one of the most important arenas for many people, and heavily influences our mental health. Make sure your workplace is emotion-friendly! Not just on Emotion Awareness Day, but every day.

The emotional challenge of the week:

As a leader, send out an e-mail to your employees every week the last four weeks before 2nd of June with these challenges:

1)Tell someone; a coworker, partner, friend, someone you trust or me about a time you felt assertive anger about something unjust that happened at work. Did you self-assert and address the problem? If not, what stopped you? Can you do it today? Response from leader: If someone self-assert and speak out about a painful wrongdoing in their past directly to you, take responsibility, validate the persons feelings and apologize.
