There are times when the workforce are low in morale and motivation; often times of change, disruption, or uncertainty. Writing to improve resilience and morale can give the workforce what they need to come through and develop a team spirit and support system. Workshops – big or small, can bring people together and improve the working atmosphere and production.

Writing better to say how you feel
