The Office held its staff retreat on Friday April 28 2017 at the St. Lucia Golf and Country Club. The Office has recognized the importance of the well-being of employees in preventing negative issues such as work related stress, low productivity, burnout and depression. Therefore, management thought it appropriate to focus on "STRESS MANAGEMENT". It is envisaged that this retreat would strengthen team building and assist staff in adopting new and innovative ways of managing stress in and out of the workplace.
Some of the main activities undertaken at the retreat were as follows:
- Session on stress management by Patrick Fearon, senior counsellor - Employee Assistance Program
- Yoga at your desk by Monetta Wilson - yoga specialist
