Resilience & Wellbeing

Growing resilience and wellbeing for leaders and their teams, with mindfulness and compassion

Research indicates that just 1 in 3 UK workers are fully engaged in their work. The resulting cost to employers and the national economy is estimated at £26 billion annually. The current impact of the COVID19 virus is having a massive effect on all our lives. The need to really pay attention to supporting our personal and collective wellbeing has never been greater.

“Were organisations to adopt this workshop as part of an approach to supporting mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, I believe it could represent a gold standard in recognising the importance of resilience and reducing risk of sickness associated with stress and anxiety.”

Sharon Brennan, Senior Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and Director RN, MScCBP, BABCP Accredited Therapist and Supervisor Participant on an Optimal Personal Resilience Workshop

“When surprises are the new normal, resilience is the new skill”

Prof. Roasabeth Ross Kanter, Harvard Business School

 
 
 
 

The link between levels of staff engagement and positive wellbeing is widely recognised. £Billions more are lost because of absences due to stress, anxiety and related mental health difficulties.

  • How engaged are your people in their work?
  • How effectively do they deal with change and challenge?
  • What are the overall levels of wellbeing and motivation within your workforce?
  • How good are working relationships within your teams?
  • How well do individuals or teams deal with challenges and setbacks?

Our Optimal Resilience Programmes for individuals, groups and teams incorporate the very latest approaches for increasing resilience and overall wellbeing. We apply a range of flexible assessment tools, including our co-created model and framework, Optimal, for developing both personal and team resilience.

Our Approach

Our clearly defined methodology reflects our experience in this field:

  1. Discovery. Understanding organisational context and challenges relating to resilience and engagement; agreement on our programme’s approach and remit.
  2. Diagnostic. Assessing teams and/or profiling individual resilience.
  3. Feedback. Expert coach feedback on the results, to individuals and/or team.
  4. Workshop 1. For individuals – an interactive session designed to combine clarity around what resilience is, its key components and benefits. An opportunity to diagnose and rate individuals’ levels of resilience and start to develop their own personal blueprint for improving levels. For teams – exploring the key behaviours and mind set for resilience in a flexible way, with teams owning agreed targets and actions.
  5. Workshop 2. Review of progress on integrating new habits and addressing challenges and setbacks. Introduction of other proven practices and techniques, which are practised in a safe and supportive environment.
  6. Plenary & Assessment 3. Reviewing what’s been achieved, with a group session to celebrate successes and ensure that any changes can be sustained.

All the above stages can be carried out either virtually or face to face as circumstances allow.
