Stop firefighting — build a workplace that lastsLecture60 min

Many organisations only work on health once problems have already arisen. This lecture shows how you can work proactively instead — to prevent stress, reduce sickness absence and create a workplace where people genuinely have the reserves to keep going.

The focus is on what you can start with straight away — without it becoming yet another demand.

What you take away

The difference between reactive and proactive work
What affects health at individual, group and organisational level
How small changes in everyday life can have a large effect

A sustainable working life for women in care, education and social careLecture60 min

Almost 80 per cent of all stress-related sick leave in Sweden affects women — and most of those affected work in healthcare, education and social care. This is not a coincidence. It is a pattern we recognise, and a pattern we can break.

In this lecture you as an employee get both understanding and tools. We go through why stress looks the way it does for women in mid-life, how thought patterns keep us stuck — and what actually helps.

You leave the lecture with practical strategies you can start using straight away — at work and at home.

What you take away

An understanding of why stress hits women harder — and what lies behind it
Insight into how your thought patterns affect your stress levels
Concrete tools for recovery and for setting boundaries in everyday life
A more compassionate stance towards yourself and your situation

Suitable for: Employees in female-dominated workplaces in healthcare, social care, education and the public sector.

Health factors for a sustainable working lifeWorkshop90 min

What makes some workplaces work — even when the pace is high? The answer is rarely large reorganisations. It is about the six health factors that research shows lie behind wellbeing, engagement and sustainable performance — and how you as a manager can strengthen them in your group, day to day.

In this workshop we go through the health factors in depth and put them into practice. You reflect on your own workplace, identify what is already working and what needs strengthening — and leave with concrete material you can take back to your team.

The workshop is designed to be easy to carry on with — not just a day of inspiration, but a tool that genuinely changes something.

What you take away

An understanding of the six health factors and how they affect health, engagement and performance
Tools for mapping where your group stands
Concrete conversation material and exercises to use straight away with your team
A simple action plan for the group's continued health work

Suitable for: Managers and leaders who want to take a proactive grip on their group's work environment and health.

Three quick questions for Sara

Why do you lecture on preventive health and work environment management?

I want to contribute to workplaces where people not only perform, but also have the conditions to feel well and keep going over time.

What is the message in your lectures for companies?

Sustainable health in working life is created in everyday work, not in one-off initiatives. By working more preventively and making small, concrete changes in daily work, organisations can reduce stress, strengthen the working climate and create the conditions for people to keep going over time.

What is your background and training as a speaker?

I am a behavioural scientist with a bachelor's degree in psychology and further training in motivational interviewing (MI), trauma-informed care and attachment patterns, among other things. I have worked as a counsellor within occupational health, where I met people in the middle of change and often saw the consequences when stress and ill health had gone too far.
