The emphasis on staying connected acts as a proactive measure, reducing the likelihood of absenteeism by addressing potential issues before they escalate.
Effective Feedback Strategies

This not only enhances communication within the team but also ensures that your feedback is constructive and focused on areas that truly matter. Improved feedback mechanisms contribute to a positive work culture, reducing stressors that may lead to absenteeism.
Mastering Active Listening

You learn and practice active listening techniques, enhancing your ability to understand and address concerns before they become reasons for absenteeism. Search for an accountability partner to ensure that the newly acquired skills are consistently applied, creating a workplace where everyone feel heard and valued.
Holistic Skill Development
Beyond addressing specific issues, the program offers a comprehensive approach to professional development. By combining check-in conversations, feedback strategies, and active listening skills, you gain a holistic set of interpersonal skills.

At the kickstart of your 3-6 week skills development program, you will follow a webinar delivered by Sarah Cherif, founder and CEO of SkillsGym. Here are a few things you might like to know about her:
Sarah's background
Sarah began her career at the University of Ghent with degrees in child education and philosophy, quickly realizing her passion for teaching. Faced with the challenge of helping seasoned leaders develop soft skills without any prior corporate experience, she turned this disadvantage into a strength by creating evidence-based, sure-proof plans to build strong soft skills through habit formation and impactful conversations.
Personal life
Sarah's roots are Belgian and Tunesian, and she partially grew up in Washington DC. She currently lives in Belgium with her partner Nils (who is co-founder of SkillsGym Health), and has a dog named Lizzy.
20+ years of impact
Together with her SkillsGym team, Sarah has helped numerous world-class organizations like Samsung, Deloitte, Ikea... and thousands of managers and their teams improve their soft skills. SkillsGym now offers programs to accelerate the mastery of 50 essential leadership, team and well-being skills.
Fun fact
Sarah tests all the habits and conversations in the SkillsGym offer herself; that's more than 200+ habits and 200+ conversations. Most of them have become second nature. Yet, as you'll learn in the webinars, she isn't shy to talk about the failures and frustrations along the way.
