Eponymously Named 'Umbrella' Provides Online Training All Over New Zealand

Umbrella’s online training is ideal for providing resilience training where teams are geographically dispersed or it is difficult to bring everyone together to complete training at the same time. Users cover the training modules at their own pace and as often as they like, and their eight training modules cover a different building block of resilience, as shown below.

Each module includes a downloadable action plan, which encourages users to personalise their learning and practise their resilience skills. The training can be accessed via Umbrella’s online learning platform or hosted on your organisation’s learning management system.

The E-training programme includes the core building blocks of the Umbrella resilience programme 

– Understanding Stress and Resilience 
– Improving physical health 
– Mental fitness and realistic optimism 
– Managing emotion under pressure 
– Improving work performance and recovery 
–  All tools for improving wellbeing.

At Umbrella they strive to make a positive difference in the workplace by using their specialist clinical psychology skills to enhance wellbeing and create high performance.

Resilience E-training allows you to enhance your personal and professional resilience anywhere, any time and can be used as a stand alone programme, or in conjunction with Umbrella’s face-to-face resilience workshops. These workshops give you the practical skills and tools to begin strengthening your resilience, and Umbrella’s secure Cloud access is convenient and flexible and is available 24/7. This means you can achieve your goals with weekly email or text reminders and action plans to help you stay on track with your goals, and Umbrella’s self-directed modules allow you to take control of your learning.

Robust evidence from academic and business case studies link employee resilience and wellbeing with improved employee engagement, creativity and innovation, talent retention and organisational productivity. Umbrella work where their clients are, and are happy to travel from their Wellington and Auckland offices, designing the most effective programmes to demonstrate improved business outcomes for their clients.
