On-Site Trainings

Team Building

The surest way to create success is to develop a collaborative environment where all team members are actively working together for a common goal. Though often talked about, building a truly unified team can be challenging. At Sutter EAP, trained facilitators can help your teams overcome common obstacles that stand in the way of developing cohesiveness. Using tested and proven methods, our facilitators can enable your organization to build morale, increase effective work processes and focus on shared goals. Training is available to groups of all sizes.

Conflict Resolution

Conflict creates a barrier to morale that often results in organizations failing to accomplish the goals they are capable of achieving. When that occurs, professional intervention is the best way to unravel the issues and restore cooperation. At Sutter EAP, we offer trained mediators who can confidently intervene in conflicts between individuals or within teams, work groups or departments.

Critical incidents can include injury or death of a co-worker, violence in the workplace, robberies, and verbal or physical assault.
