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
