PlayNice Teams that play well, Work Well

You know how hard it is to build and maintain high-impact teams and cultures – distance and disruption pull our teams down.

BoldHR™ works with progressive, often complex organisations who are struggling to develop their impact at an organisational or team level. As a result, these organisations can have issues with collaboration, innovation or transformation.

Teams who come to me to improve their impact can be experiencing outright conflict, cultures of avoidance or apathy, or they can be coming together to construct (or reconstruct) their vision, strategy or operating model.

No matter where they are on the spectrum, PlayNice programs help teams to find focus, align again, and plan a path.

Avoidance

Evasive or Passive Aggressive
More than 50% of people are actively avoiding a difficult conversation each day.

It may avoid the drama, but it’s no good for impact.

It’s hard to spot this kind of conflict before it gets hotter.

If you or your people are experiencing interactions that are:

  • Polite & Positive
  • Tense / Passive Aggressive
Then you have the symptoms of a culture of avoidance.
  • Avoidance-based interactions have a -12.5% effect on corporate performance.
  • They are most often experienced via humorous deflection, poor collaboration, failed feedback or unmaking decisions out of the room.

Conflict

Directive Or Combative

The higher the stakes the greater the risk, visibility and
negative impact of any friction.

  • Workplace conflict costs the UK GBP 30bn and US USD 359bn per year.
  • 60 per cent of workers involved in workplace conflict suffered with depression as a result

The drama is high, and the conversation’s going nowhere.

Once things are this hot, it’s often hard to return to neutral.

If you or your people are experiencing interactions that are:

  • Combative – power-play, blame-games, them-us
  • Directive – critical, curt and controlling
Then you have the symptoms of a culture of avoidance.
  • Attempts at feedback often backfire.
  • Conflict is often blamed on common work stressors like workload, lack of clarity or resource scarcity.

Why It Works

Strategy + Planning

Culture & Values

Conflict Resolution

Our Agile-inspired approach is custom-built to fit your needs, yet flexible enough to iterate as new information or issues come to light.

7 steps for program success:

  • Detailed design session(s) with you, the key sponsor to determine participants, methodology and confirm all objectives and outputs.
  • Support with program communications before, during and after the program
  • All logistics relating to workshops and any other services coordinated by BoldHR practice manager, Vanessa.
  • All program activities delivered by Rebecca Houghton and Vanessa Marrama
  • Regular sponsor check-ins after every event to tune up and iterate
  • Production of all agreed documentation and outputs as well as an archive of inputs which may include video recordings if selected.
  • Recommendations to support a successful implementation, including behavioural nudging techniques to support the desired shift and protect your ROI.

All PlayNice Programs are customised to your needs.


Every program is unique, based on the initial diagnostic that Rebecca runs.
