LMS

What is an LMS? 

The Caribbean Health e-Learning Portal is powered by Moodle, a widely-used open source learning management system (LMS) that offers collaborative learning tools, activity-based learning, and interaction with materials that encourage critical reflection. At C-TECH, our LMS serves as a digital platform to deliver training materials, assess learning progress, and manage trainee records. 

Our fully customizable Moodle LMS, branded as the Caribbean Health e-Learning Portal, is designed to provide an engaging and interactive learning experience. With this technology, we can tailor courses to meet the specific needs of our participants and effectively manage our training implementation program.

A stressful work environment can contribute to several health issues both mentally and physically, these may include headache, insomnia, stomach-aches, anxiety, difficulty concentrating high blood pressure, and a weakened immune system. 

It is important then that we take meaningful steps to ensure that we are manging our own personal space to avoid some of these issues. Our assumption, perception and expectation affect how we react to others and life situations and ultimately how we view how jobs. When assumption, expectations and perceptions are not met, we respond through our thought’s feelings and behaviours. It is important to practice positive thinking as our thoughts affects how we feel, and our feelings affects how we behave.

Here are some tips to help you with your work environment:

  • Seek for clarity instead of trying to convince yourself of what others are thinking
  • Refrain from personalisation, not everything mentioned is a direct attack on you
  • Invest in self care
  • Set limits
  • Proper nutrition
  • Connect with people

We often here people expressing how stressed they are feeling or how over worked they are, not having enough time to do the things they like such as spending time with friend and families or even a few self-care activities. We have watch families suffer due to long working hours as well as our jobs due to loss of interest and enthusiasm resulting from burnout. 

When workers are balanced and happy, they are more productive, take fewer sick days, and are more likely to stay in their jobs.

Here is how you can accomplish work life balance

  • Set manageable goals each day. 
  • Be efficient with your time at work.

         At Home

  • Don’t over commit. 
  • Get support. 
  • Stay active. 
  • Treat your body right. 
  • Get help if you need it.
