| The Creative Arts Workshops Leaf Arts delivers can be directly attributable to enhancing your company's most valuable asset - your staff, and be part of your overall strategy for achieving your company's goals. |

Embrace Creativity |
| |
There is the commonly held impression that artists have sole claim to being creative. And if you can't draw you obviously don't have a creative bone in your body! This is most certainly not true. We all share the innate creativity that lies at the heart of every single human being and is a reflection of the world at large. All children have it in abundance and it is only as we reach adulthood and face the 'realities' of life that we are forced to 'put it away' and focus on the strengths of our left-brain functions. |
| |
Re-connecting (however briefly) with the creativity that lies within each of us (the right-side of our brain) enables us to release potential that benefits all aspects of our lives - not least our performance within the work environment. |

|
Understanding & Humanity |
| |
Involving ourselves in the creative arts enables us to understand ourselves more deeply - our strengths and weaknesses. The creative arts enables us to express our uniqueness along with our desire to be recognised as such. To see and be seen. |
| |
Openly sharing this desire within the safe secure environment of an arts workshop enables people to acknowledge similarities, develop compassion and further understanding. Within a work environment this translates into improved work relationships, better team working and goes towards instilling a deeper humanity within the office or factory floor. |

|
|
Motivation & Engagement |
| |
Creativity and fun go hand in hand. Offering activities outside the normal work routine will engage your staff in positive ways not achievable by work incentives alone. Gaining a sense of personal and group achievement within an arts workshop will translate into enhanced motivation and work engagement as staff begin to see their work through a newly developed 'creative filter'. If you manage to instill a creative work ethic through sustained creative engagement with your staff they will seek to extend the creative feel-good factor into the work environment, so as to prolong the sense of fun and achievment they enjoyed so much. |
| |
This has obvious benefits to the running of your business in the form of highly motivated staff with probable low sickness levels. |

|
|
Committment & Team work |
| |
Setting creative team challenges in the safety of a workshop environment enables people to shine, take the initiative and use a different set of skills not usually associated with their set tasks. If these attributes can be recognised and harnesed within the workplace it can lead to improved team performance and committment. |
| |
|
|
Celebrate Achievements |
| |
Taking part in Creative Arts Workshops gives everyone the opportunity to achieve positive results - and have them recognised. Ensuring people have the opportunity to achieve successes during the arts workshops offers us all something positive to focus on - our own achievements and sharing in others. Gaining recognition and celebrating achievement doesn't always happen within a busy work environment. So offering people this opportunity within the arts workshops will bring a sense of achievment, celebration and positive energy into the workplace that can transform your staff's work ethic and attention. |
