Project delivery is a high-pressure environment. Can a PMO help to minimise, identify and mitigate the stress and mental health impacts on individuals & teams?

One common thread through project and programme delivery is the relentless pressure to deliver outcomes and benefits to the agreed time, cost and quality constraints.

However, a number of problems can crank up this pressure even further – demanding timescales, lack of resources, information overload, changing requirements, lack of stakeholder engagement, and a constantly changing political environment (think Brexit!).

Even someone with a good level of mental health and wellbeing can find this hard to cope with – but they can easily slip into stress as a result, which leads to poor performance and possibly more serious issues.

Then there could be other people on the team who are already suffering from stress due to other situations and events external to the project, such as illness, bereavement, divorce, or financial problems. Piling on the pressure to deliver the project could make these people even worse.

In this webinar we will talk about how the PMO – who may have regular interaction with all the delivery teams in an organisation – are well placed to spot and help people who may be experiencing mental health issues.

Patrick Scott (LinkedIn profile) and Mike Belch (LinkedIn profile) will show how the PMO can (and should) help to identify, minimise and mitigate the impacts on individuals and teams in a number of ways including:

  • Proactive trouble shooting on projects and management support by walking around, listening, and looking a project performance data for tell-tale signs of people in trouble
  • Building awareness of mental health and provide tips on enhancing wellbeing amongst the project community
  • Building a community of mutual support and practice

Everything Dana Bernstein (LinkedIn profile)  talked about since the start of the “mastering” series has been about relationships and making them stronger.

Having a solid contract is a natural extension of those goals. When you have a great contract with the loop holes closed, you can focus on building a relationship as that is critical to project success.

So, in short: A contract is a relationship and you create a project family. You agree to be bound together to get project management goals on the same page and deliver results.

Over the past century, there has been an unprecedented rise in life expectancy, jumping from 54 in 1919 to 79 today.

While increased longevity means workers will need to continue working past traditional retirement age in order to stay solvent, declining birth rates mean that organizations will need employees to stay productive for longer in order to fuel growth.

What all these longevity and demographic trends mean is that the labor force will remain generationally diverse for many, many years – yet outdated beliefs about aging and assumptions based on ageist stereotypes often persist in ways that shape organizational culture and practices.

In this session Heather Tinsley-Fix (LinkedIn profile) Senior Advisor, Financial Resilience, AARP; will demonstrate how historically low unemployment rates mean you can’t afford to overlook vast swathes of the working population based on erroneous notions about what people are capable of at what ages.

Building an age-inclusive culture prepares organizations for the future of work and helps boost efforts to put human capital at the center of your strategic advantage.
