Do you find it hard to ask your employer for what you need at work? Our At-Work team can help!

Striving for a healthy balance between the demands on your life in and out of the workplace means setting clear boundaries, and that usually requires assertive behavior. However, some people find it difficult to set those boundaries — especially in the workplace. They may find it hard to ask for what they want, or they may never have learned how to express their preferences, needs, opinions and feelings tactfully or effectively. Learning how to be assertive and establish boundaries in all areas of your life is key to establishing a healthy balance and overall wellness. Our At-Work team can help!
