Project Balance

– WILLOW BAY

Our project shifts the support burden solely from women, by empowering employers and workplace leaders to take ownership and support their staff in a meaningful way. By creating new upskilling pathways Balance ensures that women are more prepared to deal with the stresses and requirements within our modern world. Not only this but Balance supports those in leadership roles, empowering them to create a culture of support.

The Balance project will provide high quality and easily applicable resources to empower women themselves to share and validate their pandemic experiences and create a hands-on guide, made up of practical materials for resilience and learning to work better within our new digital world.

We promote a proactive approach, flexible working coupled with dynamic support to ensure the health and mental well-being of staff is not compromised. By affecting change at a leadership level, we aim to ensure high levels of integration and engagement with our resources. The Balance project strives overcome the obstacles of pastoral needs for leaders, encouraging a healthy working-life balance for all, and preventing digital drain on staff.

For Managers and workplace leaders who now hold a responsibility for the success of a team who they no longer share an office space with daily, the is a clear need for materials to aid them in the supporting of progressive and effective working. But possibly more urgently is the pastoral management of their staff, in ensuring a reasonable work-life balance, recognising the “at home” stresses which many staff, especially women are subject to.

A collaborative online space for women affected by the pandemic to share their stories. Highlighting the stresses of living and working within a pandemic, this will create an environment of support ad encouragement which many women are currently lacking.

Our Better Balance Guide will help to upskill adult educators to be able to successfully deliver training on the nuances of remote working, creating balance within a digital world and recognising the imbalances in your life.

Engage with coaching, workshops and get tips for a better work life balance.

The Balance Online Course will provide supervisors, team leaders with the knowledge, skills and awareness needed to update management practices to better manage and support their remote working staff. This will contribute to increased wellness, productivity, and staff satisfaction!
