As news about Coronavirus dominates the headlines and public concern is on the rise, people increasingly experience waves of anxiety, panic and fear. Psychologists refer to these feelings of loss, trauma and persistent uncertainty as an ’emotional tsunami’ and warn of the impact that prolonged stress caused by the pandemic can have on emotional wellbeing, interpersonal relationships, physical health and work performance.

The objective

Staying Strong is an ideal tool to equip your employees to cope emotionally with the stress. Its focus is on strengthening resilience, optimism and ownership – a mindset that will positively impact employees’ work and lives far beyond COVID-19. Staying Strong complements the COVID-19 Frontline Toolkit that offers a parallel conversation on physical wellness.

The target group

The programme can be presented at different job levels, matching accredited facilitators from our team to the needs of each group.

Three implementation options:

Face to face facilitation: A one-day immersive workshop where employees get the opportunity to do a deep dive into the various topics or a condensed half-day session focusing on the key content of the programme.

Virtual facilitation: We can package Staying Strong in a way to meet your specific needs e.g. three x 90-minute sessions, two x 4-hour sessions, or four x 2-hour interactive, virtual sessions.

A cost-effective DIY toolkit to use in-house for entry-level employees

Twelve 6-minute videos for use in team meetings. You can either show them as is or we can equip your leaders with the skills and tools to the videos to facilitate team conversations on the topics.

Staying Strong is designed by Free To Grow, experts in learning and communication with 27 years’ experience in this field.

The learning/delivery methodology is fresh and engaging – ensuring that messages ‘land’ and stick.
