It starts in the mind

Challenge

‘We are in the midst of a profound transformation. And it is foreseeable that we will continue to face change in the long term. This is because our business model requires us to adapt flexibly to constantly changing conditions.’ This is how our client, a software company, described the initial situation. The organisation wanted a solution that would support employees and managers in dealing with the rapid changes in the organisation and in finding and maintaining stability, motivation and energy on an individual level.

Solution

The result of the co-creative process: the ‘Mind Toolbox’, a booklet with lots of ideas and practical exercises that all employees and managers can use on an individual and team level. Designed as a personal logbook, the booklet combines suggestions and methodologies from the areas of mindfulness, resilience, self-management and coaching. All content was curated in collaboration with the client's People & Culture team and tested for everyday relevance with a group of employees.

We took responsibility for concept, editing and user testing, while the design, which reflects the client's look and feel, was created by creative studio vorm.

Outcome

The Mind Toolbox is available digitally on the organisation's intranet and was also been distributed 6,000 times in printed form at the organisation's various locations. In addition to this individual support offering, the client's People & Culture team uses the content for its own in-house academy, for training courses and as a basis for exchange in various digital communities.
