The Sycamore Lodge provides guest accommodations for 28 in comfortable surroundings. The Appalachian Suite has additional accommodations for four, and offers an executive setting for private meetings and relaxation.
Located 25 minutes from State College and Altoona, three hours from Pittsburgh, Harrisburg and Washington, D.C., the St. Joseph Institute is designed to make a positive contribution to the business person and their organization, providing a sanctuary away from the pressure of the office, where interruptions disappear and planning can flourish.
It offers skill development programs in communications, strategic planning, negotiation, problem solving, conflict resolution, business ethics and marketing. The institute also works with organizations to design training programs that will address their specific needs.
More than 500 studies have demonstrated the benefits of employee wellness programs. Companies are reporting reduced medical and worker’s compensation costs, lower absenteeism and sick leave, increased productivity, improved morale and stronger retention. The institute will custom design a wellness program for any business, placing emphasis on key issues that will produce demonstrable results. For greatest efficiency, these programs can be implemented at the employer’s location.
The St. Joseph Institute will host a Tyrone Area Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours session from 5:15 p.m. to 7 p.m., Thursday, July 21.
