Free Discussion Groups in Work

Abstract

Small free discussion groups meeting regularly in paid time with participation by all primary workers* within a business are suggested as a remedy for the lack of personal significance and self expression experienced by these workers in modern business organisations; while serving this purpose, the discussion groups are a likely way of healing the breach between work life and leisure life, and of solving the problem of relationships in work. The practice in a number of companies is described, and examples of group work are quoted.
