It is very useful to know what is appropriate behavior and compare it with inadequate one. For example, “In this area we need to wear boots and sandals are prohibited” or “you need to speak with respect, we can not scream.” By having both behaviors next to each other we can compare them and therefore

Have you ever thought of developing an APP for your workers? Right now most of us have smartphones that allow us not only call and use internet but also help us play and learn. You can design an application in which workers can play while learning about their labor rights and obligations and even develop

Ask workers to draw up the best recipe for a “delicious” work environment. For example, “we need 10 friendly supervisors, 3 daily smiles, 1 tablespoon of motivation and a pinch of listening”. Collect all the recipes and invite employees to lunch. If you print the recipes on coloured paper and distribute them among workers, they

With the technology available, it is becoming easier to learn new things and even maintain contact. During a course we could open a page on Facebook, or a group on Whatsapp for participants to share concerns, questions or suggestions.

Ask your workers join groups of 5 to 10 people. Have them make a list of the 10 things they like about the company or of working there. Merge the different lists. Can you create a single one with the items included in the majority? Can we make a workers’ manifesto? It could be the

Even when I like someone very much, there are always things I like about their behaviour and others that I don’t. Let workers ask these 2 questions: When do you like me? When do you dislike me? With these questions they can gain awareness of their behaviours and those of others. In addition it can

We often forget to say how productivity and can be improved. To who? To everyone. We forget to tell both managers and workers. “When I have a wound I do my job worse” or “When I’m frustrated my mind is not at work”. When designing posters and infographics on labour rights or health and safety,
