Beatriz Moreno Twose- Health & Safety Technician at Aerometallic Tarazona

Last January, Aerometallic Tarazona organized four emotional management workshops, each lasting two hours, taught by Javier González, an emotional intelligence coach. These workshops were an excellent opportunity to explore and develop key competencies such as self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and social skills.
I attended a conference given by Javier González in the city. Convinced that these contents would be a valuable contribution to the health initiatives already implemented at the company, she proposed the workshops.
The goal was to provide tools to manage emotions, improve empathy, and strengthen social relationships among employees, both professionally and personally.
These days, it often seems like social media takes up more of our attention than the people around us. We spend hours scrolling through content without pausing to consider how those around us feel or how we might put ourselves in their shoes when conflicts or challenges arise.
The workshops, which were held outside of work hours, were extremely well received, with nearly 50% of the workforce participating. Attendees also expressed a high level of satisfaction. At the end of the workshops, participants were asked if they would like to continue with this type of training, and the response was unanimously positive.
When asked about the benefits they had gained from the workshops, participants highlighted key aspects such as the importance of empathy, the power of putting oneself in another’s shoes, and the value of generosity and gratitude. Many commented that they now more frequently remember the importance of reflecting each night on three good things that happened during the day, an exercise that fosters a more positive attitude. They also emphasized the importance of living in the “here and now,” since, as Javier González reminded us, “the past is over and the future has not yet arrived.”
These workshops have been a valuable tool for personal and collective development, and we are delighted that they have been so well received by all the participants. We will undoubtedly continue to promote emotional well-being as a fundamental part of our organizational culture.
