Building Team Performance in Stressed Environments
This program will strengthen your ability to proactively sustain wellbeing and maintain performance amidst the inevitable challenges of a stressed environment.
Organisations typically operate within three environments.
Investing in wellbeing increases the likelihood of improved performance in stressed environments.
The Transformative Leadership Study 2024 conducted by EY in partnership with the Said Business School, University of Oxford identified three steps that significantly increase team performance in a stressed environment.
Our program provides a roadmap for implementing these steps with your teams.
Listen
We will use a validated survey tool to gain insights into team wellbeing and performance.
Prevent
We will collaborate with the team to create preventative strategies that create psychologically safe environments.
Act
We will work with team leaders to create a response plan for managing distress safely when it surfaces.
Building Team Performance in a Stressed Environment
Listening - The Resilient Teams Tool
The continued appraisal of a team’s functioning
The Resilient Teams tool is a validated digital survey that measures team resilience based on five underlying attributes: direction, connection, alignment, performance and attitude.
Teams that master these capabilities—resilient teams—are the teams that can produce great business results while maintaining wellbeing over a sustained period.
The tool takes up to 20 mins and is easy to set up and administer. Suncorp Group will have a 12-month licence enabling you to readminister the survey to track progress and provide insight into the continuing impact of the environment, thereby continuing to identify the need for both preventative and reactive activity over the duration of the transformation.
Preventing - Strategies for enhancing wellbeing
Build psychological safety to enable high wellbeing and performance
We will partner with your team to implement the protective strategies designed to foster a psychologically safe environment. Psychologically safety is essential for mitigating psychosocial hazards.
The strategies we employ will depend on an understanding of the team's current dynamics and focus on the areas that require the most attention. They will be targeted at both the team and individual.
Our approach to supporting you in implementing these strategies will be discuss and shared at the time of submitting our proposal to you.
Acting - Plan for Distress
Be proactive in your response when distress occurs
In stressful environments, unavoidable hazards can lead to distress. We will help you support others to minimise the impact on the team and the transformation milestones.
We are available to offer support to leaders when challenges to wellbeing and performance arise in their team.
We offer one on one wellbeing coaching to team members experiencing challenges with wellbeing and performance .
We can provide ongoing advice and support to reduce likelihood of distress reoccurring.
