Switch Off & Set Better Boundaries: A Virtual Workshop

Help your team protect their time, maintain energy, and prevent burnout with this practical and engaging virtual boundaries workshop. Created by The WorkWell Doctors for Avva Experience, this session combines occupational psychology with actionable strategies to help individuals and teams set healthier boundaries and switch off effectively.

The WorkWell Doctors are award-winning medical professionals specialising in workplace wellbeing, performance, and behaviour change, led by Dr Nirja Joshi and Dr Alex Lai. They bring extensive experience delivering science-backed training to global organisations.

Modern work often blurs the line between professional and personal life, making it harder to disconnect and recover. This corporate wellbeing workshop explores the science behind switching off and why boundaries are essential for both performance and long-term wellbeing.

Participants will explore:

• 🛑 Switching Off & Recovery – Understand the importance of psychological detachment and recovery time
• 🧠 Boundary Styles – Identify whether you are a segmentor or integrator and what this means in practice
• 💬 Saying No with Confidence – Learn practical scripts and techniques to manage expectations
• ⚖️ Managing Workload Boundaries – Set limits that protect both wellbeing and productivity
• ⏸️ The Science of Breaks – Understand why regular breaks are essential for focus and performance
• 🔄 Team-Level Boundaries – Explore how teams can create healthier ways of working together

The 60-minute workshop includes interactive polls, breakout discussions, and exercises to create a personalised Boundary Commitment Card. The 30-minute session provides a focused overview of key principles, including boundary styles and practical scripts, along with a commitment exercise.

Participants will leave with clear, actionable strategies to set boundaries, protect their time, and improve overall wellbeing and performance.
