FAQ's
To ensure maximum engagement and a safe, inclusive learning environment, we recommend a workshop size of up to 20 attendees.
This allows our facilitators to give individual attention, encourage active participation, and handle sensitive topics with care. We can, however, accommodate larger groups and will adjust the format and support accordingly to ensure the quality of the session is maintained.
The typical duration for our workshops is 60 minutes. This length is designed to fit seamlessly into a busy workday, but we also have many extended sessions available when your team has capacity to delve deeper.
We offer both virtual and in-person delivery options to suit your team's needs and location.
Our virtual workshops are highly interactive and designed to be just as engaging as their in-person counterparts, with breakout rooms, polls, and real-time activities. We can work with you to determine the best format for your organisation and your specific programme goals.
Our programme is built on our four pillars: Strategy, Engagement, Insights, and Support. The process works like this:
- ➜ Strategy: We begin with our comprehensive assessment tools to understand your team's specific needs, covering 25 key areas of wellbeing. This ensures every workshop is perfectly tailored.
- ➜ Engagement: We then design a seamless programme with streamlined planning, communications, and logistics to ensure maximum participation.
- ➜ Insights: We help you track specific metrics to measure tangible impact, so you can see the return on your investment.
- ➜ Support: We provide wrap-around content and resources to reinforce learning and ensure new skills stick.
This integrated approach moves you beyond ad-hoc training to a proactive, impactful programme.
While specialists for individual topics can offer deep-dive expertise, our approach provides a holistic, cohesive solution that delivers greater long-term impact. The true power of our programme lies in the integrated framework.
Instead of managing multiple suppliers and a series of disconnected, ad-hoc sessions, you get a seamless, consistent, and strategically planned programme. We ensure workshops build on each other, with a consistent approach to delivery and a single point of contact for all logistics and follow-up.
This not only removes the administrative burden but also ensures a unified message and a more powerful, compounding effect on your team's development.
Our expertise is in making wellbeing easy and impactful, from strategy to delivery.
Yes, absolutely. Our approach is entirely bespoke. Our Wellbeing Workshop Programme is built to address your specific team's development gaps, which we identify through our initial assessment.
Whether your team needs support in Core soft skills, navigating sensitive Inclusive topics, building Calm and resilience, or enhancing crucial Development areas like communication and leadership, our programme is customised to meet those needs.
The workshops are not "one size fits all" but are designed to deliver targeted, effective support for your unique team.
This transformation happens by moving away from manual, ad-hoc planning to a proactive, streamlined process. We provide the frameworks, templates, and logistical support to automate and simplify your entire workshop planning.
Instead of spending hours per workshop on scheduling, invitations, and follow-ups, our process allows you to set up your entire year's programme with minimal effort. This frees you from the administrative burden, allowing you to focus on strategy and team engagement.
The impact is measurable and significant. Our programme helps your team build critical skills that directly address the root causes of burnout and low productivity.
- ➜ To Reduce Burnout: We provide practical workshops on stress management, time management, and setting boundaries (from our Core and Calm categories). By equipping your team with these skills, they can better manage their workload and emotional state, leading to a healthier, more sustainable pace.
- ➜ To Increase Productivity: Workshops on effective communication, teamwork, and resolving challenges (from our Core and Development categories) streamline your team’s efforts. When people work better together, they are more efficient and focused, which directly impacts closing the performance/potential gap through increasing wellbeing.
