Written for practitioners to use one-on-one or with groups, the purpose of this workbook is to provide workers and prospective workers with the requisite skills they will need to be successful in any work setting. The workbook contains five separate sections to help participants learn more about themselves and the work skills that they possess that are fundamental to their ability to work effectively. They will learn about the importance of these skills in the changing workplace and complete assessments and activities to define the required workplace skills and determine their skill gaps in the workplace. Key areas include: Leadership Skills, Work Stress, Cultural Competency, Organizational Skills and Balancing Work and Leisure.

Given the rapid rate of change in the workplace, prospective workers need to develop new skill sets to cope and thrive in this changing economy.
