The biggest threat to building an engaged workforce in 2017 is employee burnout.” – Dan Gouthro, Kronos, Inc.
Burnout results in higher turnover, lower performance, and challenges with recruitment and morale.To help solve this problem, many companies are turning to the work of Carol Dweck at Stanford University focusing on Growth Mindset. Dweck and her cohort have unlocked the code to why some people persevere and succeed long term while others get permanently off course when faced with life’s setbacks and challenges. Now, companies like Merlin Works are activating this research by combining it with the most resilient of art forms: Improvisational Theater.
Using games and activities from the world of improv comedy, we provide a fun, interactive experience for your team.With all the laughter from our entertaining exercises, it will be hard to tell that your team is actually discovering on their feet how to embrace failure and risk taking, bounce back quickly from mistakes, reframe challenges and start to seek out constructive feedback. And because everyone is getting out of their comfort zone, there is a great side benefit of a team building experience and creating a support network inside the organization.
