RESTART Festival | Active travel in the workplace 

Discovery Retreat in Devon – from a guest’s perspectiveI had the opportunity of participating in a career discovery weekend with Compass Careers. This was based at the beautiful Brunel Manor near Torquay.The sessions encouraged us to explore our interests, strengths, values and preferred behaviours as well as our life journeys so far. This helped us forge our next steps. It was combined with practical job searching tips and a one on one coaching session.There were surprises along the way; as is probably the case with many people I found I did not know myself as well as I thought! Indeed, the whole experience was rather emotional.The course is coaching rather than advice, guiding participants to reach their own conclusions. A key part of this is being part of a group, which clicked straight away. I have often thought of 'networking' as a dirty word, but the weekend was an example of what it can be at its best. The course is aimed at people at any stage of their career and this was demonstrated by the broad range of ages, stages and sectors represented. It is not only for those contemplating an imminent move and indeed this may not be the conclusion one comes to.The beautiful surroundings and scrumptious food at Brunel Manor created the perfect backdrop, which is very important for being in the right frame of mind.

RESTART Festival | Wellbeing and Performance 

Wherever you are in the world things are likely to be tough with the COVID-19 restrictions you’re living under. In the UK we’re still in Lockdown #3, which has for many felt like the most challenging.Noticing a distinct difference in the concerns people were raising with me, across the landscape of business and into personal lives, I decided to create these key theme videos to help as much as I can.Each day we use measurements in our lives, those different types of evidence we continually gather to determine how ‘successful’, happy, satisfied or fulfilled we feel, and if we’ve achieved what we intended to.I hope after watching this you’ll feel inspired to Zoom In and Re-Focus on an area of your life, so your measurements reflect the life you have now and what you would like to create for your future.A huge thank you again to Lightweight Media for being so brilliant to work with on this project.We think you may also find this interesting: <a href="https://www.norfolkknowledgehub.co.uk/video/24502" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Time Marker: Joe Mills, The Tree Academy</a>

A resilient skillset is now, more than ever, considered one of the most important areas in which we can develop. Many people are now referring to resilience as a ‘must-have’.All the skills required to be able to persevere, learn from our perceived failures, maintain motivation and perspective start with how we approach and process external events – our mindset. From the boardroom to the shop floor, we need to be able to reduce the cycles of stress, anxiety and fear that negatively impact wellbeing, communication and productivity.<a href="www.norfolkchambers.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: rgb(3, 3, 3);">Full virtual events programme</a> | <a href="www.turningfactor.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249); color: rgb(3, 3, 3);">Turning Factor</a>

Most of us understand the need to embrace diversity in the workplace but how do we turn being seen ‘doing the right thing’ into something more than hollow virtue signalling? How do we bring about the genuine change that creates a clear business advantage by truly valuing the contribution of all stakeholders?This session looks at how the different experiences and attitudes of a cognitively diverse team can create real benefits for businesses, colleagues and wider stakeholders. It will consider different management styles and how these impact on the ability to realise the potential of a truly inclusive culture; looking to the extent they encourage the free flow of, perhaps, conflicting opinions and ideas.Agenda<ul><li>Why diversity matters</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Individual diversity</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Social diversity</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Cognitive diversity</li><li>How businesses have leveraged diversity</li><li>Creating a psychologically safe environment</li></ul>About the presenter<a href="https://www.chadwicks.co.uk/our-people/richard-ross/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Richard Ross</a>&nbsp;is an experienced and engaging presenter.

I Care Ambassadors: Norfolk and Suffolk Care Support 

A resilient skillset is now, more than ever, considered one of the most important areas in which we can develop. Many people are now referring to resilience as a ‘must-have’.All the skills required to be able to persevere, learn from our perceived failures, maintain motivation and perspective start with how we approach and process external events – our mindset. From the boardroom to the shop floor, we need to be able to reduce the cycles of stress, anxiety and fear that negatively impact wellbeing, communication and productivity.Full virtual events programme: www.norfolkchambers.co.ukTurning Factor: www.turningfactor.co.uk

Recovery Programme | Developing a Resilient Mindset Ask the Expert

Working in sectors like retail, hospitality and care has always had its tough moments, but the pandemic has made this even harder. The Good Jobs Project looked into how businesses can improve the frontline experience of work. The project team created resources which highlight practical ways to improve the employee experience of work.&nbsp;The upheaval from the pandemic has threatened the security of businesses and employment, and placed new pressures on managers and employees, as well as exacerbating old inequalities - factors which impact on both the wellbeing and performance of workers at all levels.In response, the University of East Anglia (UEA) and Norwich Good Economy Commission launched ‘The Good Jobs Project’ to find ways to support managers and employees to embed good employee experiences of work into the way they build back after the crisis. The project focused on the challenges for workers in areas such as care, hospitality and retail.The project brings together academic findings on what supports wellbeing and performance with first-hand accounts of the challenges and successes facing organisations and their staff. The team identified ‘4 Boosts for frontline workers’:<ul><li>‘Let me connect’ - Give frontline workers the time, support and flexibility they need to be able to connect with customers and feel pride in their work;</li><li>‘Care about me and my life’ - Get to know workers and show care for their needs and goals, e.g. around childcare, working hours or learning;</li><li>‘Have my back’ - Ensure workers feel safe and are trained and supported to deal with difficult situations;</li><li>‘Make me part of the conversation’ - Involve workers in discussing decisions that could impact their lives, ensuring managers are open and approachable.</li></ul>&nbsp;To learn more about the 4 boosts and how to apply them, view the video here and download the accompanying infographic and 8-page handbook below.The handbook includes a section on each boost called ‘why is taking action on this a win-win?’ This part is written in plain English without references, but if you are interested in the academic sources of each statement you can download the reference supplement below.<a href="https://file://coc-host/HomeFolders/haze.carver/Documents/My%20Pictures/4%20Boosts%20handbook.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download – handbook</a><a href="https://file://coc-host/HomeFolders/haze.carver/Documents/My%20Pictures/GJP%20Evidence%20supplement.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download – references supplement.&nbsp;</a>
