Benefits of Powerful Peer Support:
This unique group coaching program offers benefits at both the individual and organizational levels. The evidence based benefits of peer support and therefore this program include:
- Central to mitigating the effects of occupational stress and trauma
- Foundational to effective team building
- Powerful way to reduce the risk for burnout
- Key to respectful relationships with colleagues, including supervisors/managers
- Helps create a workplace where people want to be and do their best!
Background to the development of this group coaching program:
Most people spend a lot of waking hours with their colleagues. It is not surprising that the quality of our working relationships is a key determinant of satisfaction, motivation and productivity at work - virtues that benefit professionals themselves as well as the broader organization.
In a recent Harvard Business Review article entitled Employee Motivation: A Powerful New Model - the researchers and authors found four key drivers that underlie employee motivation - one is "the drive to bond" with colleagues/team members as well as an overall sense of pride for belonging to the organization (HBR, July-August 2008, p.80).
Fulfilling "the drive to bond" happens within the culture of the workplace and recommendations for action include:
- foster mutual reliance and friendship among coworkers
- value collaboration and teamwork
- encourage sharing of best practices
I have provided training to thousands of helping professionals and when asked "what helps you deal with the stress and trauma of your work?" participants offer numerous responses. Without exception, the response "having a positive relationship with my colleagues and manager/supervisor and/or team leader" is mentioned.
With the above in mind, I have developed this unique group coaching program for teams and working groups.
Quick Fact:
"Approximately one of every three employees reported low support from co-workers (32%) and one in six, low support from supervisors - two major sources of work stress."
