Workplace Wellbeing

In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, the mental wellbeing of our nation’s workforce is more important than ever. Comedy and poetry can offer a dynamic and enjoyable new way to support the wellbeing of your staff. A workforce that thinks creatively can find it easier to solve problems, which ultimately leads to a happier workplace.

Take your pick from one of the following workshops or select a blended approach, whether online or in-person.

Wellbeing in the Workplace - Workshops

The Group Poem
- Rob writes the poem in real time, based on interaction with participants. The subject and theme is decided by your team and together we create something completely original.
Creative Minds
- A series of low-key wordplay and improvisation games designed to improve communication, confidence and teamwork. We tell jokes, make up stories and laugh a lot.
Creative Writing
- Creative writing is one of the most flexible art forms we have. It can be funny, serious, therapeutic, an excuse to vent your spleen, a love letter, a filthy limerick, a pithy greetings card, or combinations of the above.

All these sessions are designed to be inspiring, entertaining and confidence-building, with fun at their heart. They allow us to connect with others, engage with something creative, step away from our problems and do something daft! Everyone’s opinions count and anyone can make a difference.

Head of Service,
- I just want to say a really big thank you for the poetry workshop you put on today for the CAMHS Service. Delivering that for over 40 people was no mean feat, especially on MS Teams but you were fab! Having experienced your session previously on teams where you are the conduit for a group to develop a poem to reflect their experiences, I knew that this would hit the staff wellbeing sweet spot and this session today certainly did that. After the year that staff had, having an opportunity to come together to have some fun and have a product out of it that we can share and refer back to was a real tonic. I would heartily recommend that all teams have the opportunity to come together and engage in a poetry session with you Rob as part of the staff wellbeing agenda.
