Resilience and Wellbeing

Take care: innovative, drama-based training to help create healthy, mutually supportive workplaces..

Many organisations wish their employees had more ‘bouncebackability’ to cope with all the demands, uncertainty and setbacks work throws at them. The biggest problem with this is when the onus falls on the individual employee to learn to ‘roll with the punches’, while the organisation neglects what it can do to lessen the blows and support the wellbeing of its people.

Our new experiential, drama-based training programme takes a more holistic approach to Resilience. Presenting fictional characters in realistic scenarios, it explores the dynamic interaction between personal factors, leadership and the wider environment taking place in workplaces every day. Employees deepen their understanding of what it means to be resilient and can identify steps they can take, individually and working together, to increase their capacity to draw upon their strengths to cope with challenges and make sense of them.

The Programme

We offer flexible delivery options including either face-to-face workshops at your venue of choice, or online with our interactive livestreamed virtual workshops.

The programme consists of the following modules.

#1 welcome and explanation of purpose

Getting to know each other, outlining aims and objectives, and establishing norms for the workshop.

#2 where we are now

Real-time electronic polls and interactive scenarios provoke powerful conversations about individual and organisational experiences of pressures, demands and challenges affecting wellbeing at work and elsewhere.

#3 whose job is resilience

We ask the question, where does the responsibility for resilience lie? We introduce learners to a practical, holistic model to understand the interrelated factors that drive resilient outcomes.

#4 interactive scenario – the individual space

Using live action, learners get to see a fictional character struggling to cope and learn what’s going on for them at home and work. Then, drawing on the circle of concern/ circle of influence model, learners identify what the character could do to make a positive difference. This is backed up with guidance on how to develop personal resilience.

#5 interactive scenario – the team space

More live action with fictional characters to demonstrate the importance of workplace relationships to resilience, especially the role played by line managers and they way they handle high-stakes situations.

#6 interactive scenario – the organisation space

A dynamic mix of live action and group work for learners to reflect on the nature of the job, cultural factors, and the impact of policies on resilience. This culminates in learners working together to identify ways to create sustainable change that will increase the capacity for resilience in the workplace.

#7 summary, action planning and evaluation

At the end, learners identify one or more practical actions they will take back in the workplace, before the session closes with a series of electronic polls to evaluate whether the session met its objectives.
