Workshop for teams

Languishing: Beyond the “meh”

Understanding languishing and how it quietly impacts performance, engagement, and wellbeing at work

Many people aren’t burnt out or unwell, but they’re not feeling good or functioning well either. Languishing is a common yet often overlooked state where employees feel flat, disengaged, or stuck. This interactive, evidence-based workshop helps teams and leaders recognise languishing and take practical, science-backed steps to improve wellbeing, energy, and effectiveness at work.

Questions we get asked

Before you book

Can the workshop be delivered online or in person?
Both. We deliver in person anywhere in Australia, or virtually if your people are spread across sites or you would rather not bring everyone into one room. The content and the activities work either way, and we will talk through which format suits your group when we chat.
Who will facilitate our session?
We have around 20 Be Well Certified facilitators around the country. Being Be Well Certified means we have taken them through the science behind our programs and they deliver our materials. Rather than sending whoever happens to be free, we match a facilitator to your organisation based on the energy of the group and what your people need. You can meet the team here.
How long is the session, and how many people can attend?
Sessions run for one or two hours, and we usually suggest up to 30 people so there is still room for people to talk. If you have a bigger audience in mind, we also do presentations that land better for larger groups.
What does it cost?
Get in touch and tell us what you have in mind. Price varies depending on the format, the duration and the type of session, so once we understand your requirements we will send you a proposal with costing.
How far in advance do we need to book?
We have turned sessions around in a week and we have planned them months out, so there is flexibility. Around four weeks tends to work best. It gives us time to get to know your organisation and match the right facilitator, and it gives you time to get your team or leaders ready for it.
How common is languishing at work?
Around one in five employees are languishing. It’s common, yet often overlooked, because people who are languishing aren’t burnt out or unwell, they just aren’t feeling good or functioning well either.
How is languishing different from burnout?
Burnout tends to come from sustained pressure without enough recovery, while languishing is more of a flat, stuck feeling that can set in even when workloads seem fine. The workshop helps people tell the two apart. If burnout sounds closer to what your team is going through, see Managing Burnout.
