Join us in person at People Insights Exchange for real talk and fresh ideas on understanding your team better!

Welcome to the People Insights Exchange!

A new monthly workshop in Bingham for people who manage people.

Ninety minutes. One accredited keynote, one hands-on workshop, and a room of local professionals worth knowing. First Friday of every month at Bingham Arena.

NOVEMBER'S SESSION: STRESS AWARENESS AT WORK

To coincide with International Stress Awareness Week, this practical 90-minute workplace learning session explores the conditions at work that can create or intensify pressure.

People Insights Exchange will be looking at what are we asking people to cope with?

We’ll explore how workload, control, support, workplace relationships, role clarity and organisational change can contribute to work-related stress, using the HSE Management Standards as a practical framework.

You’ll put the ideas into practice in our Stress Detective Workshop, working through a realistic workplace scenario to identify what’s creating pressure, what questions you would ask and what you could actually change.

WHAT YOU'LL LEAVE WITH

You’ll leave with practical tools and ideas you can take straight back into work, including:

A practical way to identify where stress is entering the work

The six HSE work-related stress risk areas translated into questions you can actually use

A 10-Minute Stress Risk Check for your own team or workplace

Better questions for conversations

Practical ideas for changing the work and environment

A take-away Stress at Work Toolkit

The option to purchase a formal CPD certificate

WHO IT'S FOR

HR leads, heads of function, L&D professionals, line managers and business owners. Anyone responsible for how people are treated at work, and anyone who's currently guessing.

The cost of getting this wrong turns up later as grievances, sickness absence, tribunal risk and good people quietly leaving. Ninety minutes now is cheaper than any of them.

- Step-free access, with accessible exits at the front and rear of the hall

- Induction hearing loop in the hall

- Subtitles on screens

- Colour-coded lanyards so you can signal whether you're up for chatting or would rather focus on the learning

- Round-table seating rather than rows, with room to move around the space

- Free parking on site, with accessible bays nearest the entrance

If you have a barrier to standard evacuation, or anything else we should know to keep you safe and comfortable, tell us at checkout and we'll agree a plan with you before the day.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND FILMING

This session will be professionally photographed and filmed. Filming focuses on the presenters and the stage, not on attendees doing workshop activity, and footage will be used for future learn
