The demands of everyday life, the fragmentation of work spaces\n(both physical as well as organisational) and the excess of technification,\nmeans that we are increasingly working in a more isolated and disconnected way from\neach other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This reality, which can be found in a large number of\norganisations, leads to a deterioration of our communicative capacity, which in\nan unperceivable way is passed on to our mental processes, our habits and our\nrelations, and ends up affecting the labour world.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organisations\nneed to improve their relational quality<\/strong>, both external\nand internal.  Developing a project for\nimproving these relational skills means providing tools that allow us to tackle\nthe challenges that todays’ society demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be consistent with the integral management project based on\nSocial Responsibility, as well as with the result of the consultations with the\nstaff, promoted by the Committee for Safety and Health at Work of the Museu\nNacional d’Art de Catalunya, it is necessary to improve the communication\nprocesses, foster participation, conciliation and personal development of the\nteam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is often a lack of clarity in the communication, unclear\nassumptions, moralistic judgements, comparisons, denial of responsibility,\ndefensive attitude … all of these being aspects that hinder the message,\ncause discomfort to one or other interlocutor and generate conflict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is therefore clear that internal communication is one of the\nweaknesses of organisations and also of the museum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an aspect that requires improvement in many senses: more\ntransparency, more fluency in the work circuits, etc.  A relation of trust is basic for\nunderstanding.  A well communicated and trusting team will work better, be more\nmotivated and work in a more efficient way<\/strong>. \n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why it\nis important to open up new spaces of relation that foster communication and\nempathy between people, recognition, talent and motivation.  To feel better with yourself,\nto get to know yourself, to have more tools for managing all types of\nsituations, also makes it better for us in the work environment.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last training plan, the workers of the of the museum\nrequested courses aimed at reducing stress, improving leaderships, and time\nmanagement.  The Museu Nacional d\u2019Art de Catalunya has dedicated its efforts towards\nsuch an important issue as the wellbeing of its workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we are happier in our work, more\nconnected and know how to communicate better with our colleagues, the teamwork\nwill be more efficient, we will be more productive and effective.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By collecting the proposals of the workers, the museum has consolidated a line of training courses focused on improving welfare.  This line began last year with the course of Mindfulness<\/a>, which was highly rated by the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course of affective communication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the aim of extending the training proposals of relational contents, last November the first edition took place of the training in Affective communication and confidence building<\/strong>, given by professor Davide Nuzzolo<\/a>, with the participation of around fifteen people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
