How Do Small Groups Work?
Typically, each Small Group has a mentor and a leader. The mentor is the sponsor of the group who assists the group in getting started and ensures that they have access to and information about the WorkMatters organization and its resources. The role of leader may rotate within the group over time, but initially, the first leader is the one who heads the group during startup and facilitates the discussions at group meetings.
The WorkMatters Small Groups typically meet weekly for one hour in a workplace setting, such as a conference room or employee break room. Groups range in size from 4 to 10 people. As the group grows too large, it will split and form two groups, and so on. Our desire is to keep the meetings simple, relaxed and valuable.
Confidentiality is a must, so that the discussions are rooted in trust. The composition of a group may be similar occupations, geographic location, or areas of interest. Many groups are employees within the same company, while others come from a variety of fields and backgrounds. Other groups include faculty, staff or students in a campus setting.
Each group has the flexibility to focus their curriculum and discussions on the areas of greatest interest for the members. We provide a Curriculum Guide that offers a range of subjects such as "integrating faith and work," "balancing life's demands" or "leadership issues," to name a few.
