Applying critical and creative thinking to common workplace issues

In Part 3, you will apply critical and creative thinking to common workplace problems at Bounce Fitness, with the aim of MAKING a safe environment that encourages the practice of critical and creative thinking skills. You will facilitate opportunities for team members to apply critical thinking skills to workplace problems. Scenario 3: As the centre manager, you have become aware of the following workplace problems occurring in your branch at Bounce Fitness, Cairns, over the past few days. Impatient clients - Team Amazing One of your personal fitness trainer's clients has lost interest in the current exercises they are performing because they are not seeing immediate weight loss results. They have requested that their personal fitness trainer change some of the exercises that are currently part of their training plan. The fitness trainer has approached you and the other member of Team Amazing for help, as this is the third time the client has asked for a change to their training plan. The other fitness trainer in Team Amazing has also experienced clients who become impatient when they do not see immediate results. Small class sizes - Team Brilliant There have been fewer clients attending the different in-house group classes offered by Bounce Fitness. The classes currently offered are aerobic classes, circuit classes, and dance classes. These classes have been running for more than a year now. When asked about the situation, clients suggested that perhaps the classes were not 'trendy' enough. You realise that now would be a good time to introduce a new class to your clients. To find solutions to the problems you will need to create a safe environment that supports critical and creative thinking.
