The NR Supply Chain Operations team know a thing or two about how tricky it can be to keep a work-life balance running a large fleet, which includes all NR’s On Track Machines and Plant.
Many are juggling shifts with the demands of on-call working and balancing that alongside a busy home life. The team reported challenges such as switching off from work at the end of the day, having enough time for themselves away from work and home commitments, getting good sleep and using unhealthy coping mechanisms.
In early 2023, the team joined The Mental Wealth Company’s 1-year Personal Resilience programme. During the initial months, The Mental Wealth Company spent time working with the team helping them prioritise their biggest challenges and creating space in their diaries for themselves.
The team were then coached through a series of curated topics to address their wellbeing challenges, which included:
- Getting better sleep
- Creating good habits and lifestyle choices
- Setting effective work/life boundaries
- Finding and using support networks
- Creating psychologically safe spaces at work
Self-reported “resilience scores” were measured throughout the programme. The results, 10 months in, are looking good, with many positives reported by the team.
“We are delighted to have found the support to develop self-awareness and the skills to be our best selves at work. I am looking after myself in a much more positive way and can’t wait for the next training day”– Paul Withey, Principal Driving and Operational Standards Expert
“The Masterminding Technique is fantastic for quickly finding a diverse range of potential solutions; me and my team will absolutely be using this again in the future”– Jason Hadgraft – Training & Competency Operations Manager
The practically focussed workshops are delivered through a mixture of face-to-face workshops, online sessions and self-taught resources, created and delivered by our experienced training team, who have backgrounds in rail, aviation, oil, gas, engineering, human factors, medicine and safety.
