How to maintain and grow a positive and cohesive culture when everyone is working from home

Your team may be productive when working from home, but with a lack of social interaction chances are some people are feeling lonely and disconnected, which could lead to problems. Boosting human connection, so you all stay positive and aligned has never been more important.

What if you step back, widen your view, and give your team some attention?

Zoom into the Wild is designed to bring your team together.
​
​It helps you adapt to change, learn a tool for wellbeing, and involves everyone in talking about culture and strategy.
​
You'll leave feeling positive, uplifted and connected.

This programme is good for organisations who want to:

● access the hive mind inside your business
● discover your team's ideas on improving culture 
● re-bond your team and boost mood and wellbeing
● stay connected while working from home

● explore fresh perspectives with your team
● engage with change in a meaningful way
● explore how to stay positive through shared values
● find ways to be more regenerative

What happens

Zoom into the Wild blends online and nature sessions that are inspiring, energising and engaging, to help bring your team together and work out how to adapt to change.

Listening and sharing as a team, you'll explore your organisation's culture and ecosystem using a creative mapping tool that'll help you identify key areas that your team want to work on.

We help you dive into what to reset and rethink, how to place meaning and purpose at the heart of your strategy, and map the possibilities so that you can let go of what’s not working and take forward what you want to keep.
​
You'll leave feeling uplifted and more connected, with insight and actions to continue the process in your organisation.

FAQs

Why split the sessions?

We recommend scheduling the 2 x Zoom sessions a few days or a week apart, because:

• this avoids Zoom fatigue
• it creates space for reflection, which is a key part of learning
• it keeps the positive momentum going over a longer period
• NB it also works if they are held on the same day, ideally at least 3 hours apart

Why do the nature ACTIVITY BETWEEN SESSIONS?

• Placing the nature activity in the days (or hours) between the Zoom sessions allows your team members to find the right place, at a time to suit them
• by setting aside time for it rather than rushing it or squeezing it into a short workshop, allows your team to experience the full benefit, and for something new to emerge
• it informs the discussion in the second Zoom session

Why include nature?

The benefits of spending time in nature are well known. Humans have an innate affinity with the natural world, which is why Vitamin N (Nature) is:

• an antidote to stress and loneliness,
• it’s energising and relaxing,
• it remedies distracted thinking,
• and it enhances creative thinking.

The upshot: Nature is crucial for your mental health.

Yet in these rapidly changing times, many of us are sat in front of a screen for hours at a time, and don’t make time to connect with the earth. We’re missing out.

The nature activity we've created is a way for you to share an experience with your team that has meaning and is regenerative, while being physically distant.
