Inviting industry into the classroom – a massage? Yes thanks!

BSBLED502A Prezi

BSBLED502A Prezi

This week my BSB50207 Diploma Business class started a new unit BSBLED502A Manage programs that promote personal effectiveness.

“So,” I asked them “What is meant by personal effectiveness at work?” and with this opening question we delved into new words such as absenteeism and presenteeism, productivity, operational losses until their eyes glazed over. 😀

I am using this Prezi (image above) as an instructional resource.

To assist my class in understanding EAP options I invited a friend who owns a massage business (Deeper Essentials) to come to the class and talk about the benefits of workplace massages in the corporate environment. The students then developed an EAP needs survey using Survey Monkey and sent the link via email to the campus staff (you can complete a copy of it here, if you are interested). Next week we will analyse the results and present our recommendations as a verbal report to the campus manager.

Naturally we lined up to experience a massage just to agree with its benefits 🙂
