Knowing & Setting Healthy Boundaries at Work - Workshop

Knowing & Setting Healthy Boundaries at Work - Workshop 

Understanding and implementing workplace boundaries is a critical skill for any profession. Boundaries help you clearly define the scope of your role at work, and protect you from taking on unnecessary tasks that contribute to burnout. Defining boundaries helps others feel confident about your role at your firm, and reduces the likelihood of conflict or resentment that can come from blurred lines in the workplace. Lead by DEI Specialist Farzana Nayani (she/her), WiA’s Summer Workshop on Workplace Boundaries will help you understand where boundaries are beneficial to your workplace and personal success, how to set respectful boundaries, and how to keep those boundaries in place over time.
