This will provide support and enthusiasm for change instead of resistance based on fear.<\/p>\n<p>Health and balance are a prerequisite for organizations and people to be able to work effectively and develop in a rapidly changing environment. The code for health and balance already exists but needs to be rediscovered. This requires profound change that can only be made from within the organization (or the individual).<\/p>\n<p>The opportunities for reflection and joint learning are built into the work pattern &#8211; a holistic view is developed in the organization. The employees are given skills and space to take their own initiative and responsibility while working in a changing environment. Everyone&#8217;s equal value is recognized and space is created for genuine meetings in everyday life. All parts of the organization work together and we become efficient and result-oriented.<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nThe Genuine Contact Way was developed by Birgitt and Ward Williams, Dalar International.
