Homes England Programme Proposal

Introduction •

We are delighted to share our proposal for a programme to support and develop the Homes England graduate programme . Based on our discussions and the graduate programme overview your shared, we have mapped out a development journey that will commence with a face-to-face event in either December of January and we are then recommending that it be delivered via a blend of online and face-to-face events over the course of the two year graduate programme.

•

We are able to measure the impact of the programme in a number of ways including using the PERMA workplace wellbeing profiler tool. This measurement tool would allow you to evaluate the wellbeing and engagement of your graduates using a recognized and simple tool.

•

We have suggested content and development that we feel is most relevant at each stage of the graduate's development in the first year of their programme as well as development for managers if required

•

Masterclasses are delivered face to face in either 2.5-3 hour sessions or online in 1.5-2 hour sessions. Ideally numbers would be between 25-30 people for these sessions.

Proposed Programme Overview

5

Homes England Programme The diagram outlines the suggested shape, content and timing of a programme to support Homes England graduates to flourish and perform at their best. We would kick off the programme with a face-to-face session delivering foundational mental and physical health development to equip them with tools for the journey ahead. We would then follow this up with an online personal effectiveness and digital wellbeing sessions to support goal setting and healthy digital habit building in 2023. Our second face-to-face input would be just prior to placement two to support them to manage stress and boost resilience as they experience change. Ideally this would be face to face with two sessions in a day. We would then look at how to boost performance, confidence and motivation prior to placement three and during this placement we would focus on key skills to optimise productivity and personal impact concluding with a face-to-face personal brand session. We have also shown what a manager programme for those that support graduates could look like.
