Case Study – The Bar Council

Challenge

Jo Peruzza and Anjana Rajani took a brief from Catherine Shaw and established that the key challenges the team were facing were; the worry of the workload for those who had not been furloughed, ongoing remote working, maintaining working relationships from a distance and the impact of that on Leadership and individuals own wellbeing. The team were also concerned about the prospect of returning to work in central London.

​

Action

We quickly responded to their request, sought to understand the challenges and put together a bespoke taster program to meet the needs of the team and their furloughed employees. We delivered the session on MS Teams and engaged 95+ team members on the call.

​

Results

The session was planned for just 60 minutes and because of the positive engagement and participation of the members it overran with great audience participation - using MS Teams chat to engage communication. 

​

Outcome

The participants were enriched by sharing of good practice and ideas to support their colleagues.

It is hoped that through the session we achieved a shared understanding that all the team members are under pressure and that they can help and support each other – there is a potential for those with shared interests outside of work (such as cooking or birdwatching)  can share this and find common ground and a reason to communicate outside the normal “Business as Usual”.
