Major structural and strategic change increasing team stress levels.
the engagement
Full day resilience workshop and coaching
the impact
Increased resilient responses in majority of staff on post assessment.
The Challenge
Kate Burke of Thinkagri used the R@W Individual Scale when consulting to a small not for profit cropping company undergoing major structural and strategic change. The workforce was unsettled by the changes and there was a lack of cooperation and high levels of stress.
The engagement
All staff took the R@W Individual Scale as part of a full day workshop and developed action plans. Each team member was supported with a one on one session and some members received mentorship and coaching over the next 10 months. The scale was repeated to 12 months later and a refresher was provided.
The impact
On re-assessment, the majority of participants were functioning at a more resilient level, particularly those who had received coaching. A cultural shift from blame to personal responsibility was also evident and the staff were more united and better able to manage with the disruption caused by a change in CEO. The work became a catalyst for other team development workshops and a team charter was developed.
