Describe the working day

Begin with the kinds of tasks the team performs, the setting and the practical constraints. A desk-based group and a team moving between locations may need very different conversations.

Define the purpose

Is the aim to introduce a topic, collect questions, discuss a task or explore a longer programme? A clear purpose helps determine whether a workshop or another format is a sensible starting point.

Make participation practical

Agree a time, location, group size and format that work for the participants. Ask about access needs and the role of managers or team leads in the discussion.

Agree the follow-up

Decide what the organisation wants to take away from the session and who will coordinate next steps. Attendance alone does not establish a health outcome; keep expectations specific and proportionate.
