The week will take place at the magnificent Skern Lodge Activity Centre and will involve a range of challenging but fun activities designed to help you grow and develop as an individual and boost your team working skills.

You will benefit from a superb learning environment and facilities that are second to none. Along with great accommodation, the centre has plenty of meeting rooms, classrooms and social areas.

Drying rooms are provided for each accommodation area and there is plenty of outdoor space to relax or walk around within. Wi-Fi is available within most areas of the site.Added to all this, a heated outdoor swimming pool completes the complex.

SKERN LODGE is located on the North Devon coast, near Appledore on the shores of the Taw and Torridge estuary. Situated on the site of the old Watertown Farm, the buildings have been developed and added to, incorporating the original 1705 stonework into the purpose-built residential facilities.

MEASURING SUCCESS The PERMAH wellbeing survey for workplaces is a recognised tool for assessing wellbeing and engagement within a group organisation and identifying how it can be improved.

The survey (which we recommend is completed at the start and end of the programme) shows how your colleagues score against the 6 areas of wellbeing within the PERMAH model namely; 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

Positive emotions – how happy they are Engagement with the organisation Relationships at work Meaning – how meaningful they find their work Accomplishment - how much they feel their work is valued Health – how well they manage their physical health

Your workplace report will allow you to look at what is working well, where you are struggling and what you are learning about caring for wellbeing of your cohort.

This will allow you to assess both the impact of this programme and how well the business is supporting and giving graduates the tools to succeed.
