A Client Success Story
Amcor
Amcor plc is a global packaging company. It develops and produces flexible packaging, rigid containers, specialty cartons, closures and services for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, medical-device, home and personal-care, and other products.
The Challenge
Energy was at an all time low
As a multinational organization who had ramped up production during the pandemic, Amcor was struggling to keep up with demand, contend with the shift to WFH, and negotiate productivity and energetic capacity of their employees.
Employees had consistently expressed throughout multiple evaluations and internal assessments that they were burnt out and unclear how to sustain performance. The employees had expressed not having time to regenerate presence or attend to basic needs such as nutrition and sleep habits. There was a culture of “always on” and not having the boundary of being in office escalated the impact on energy and focus.
As Amcor was addressing this challenge from an operational perspective, they approached EYV to support employees with skills for energy retention and sustainable expression.
The Solution
Come back to basics
Over the course of a two session virtual training to a group of approximately 500 employees, we challenged the participants to clearly identify what was within their control and what was outside of their control and build independent strategy from there.
We guided the participants through exercises to identify boundaries of responsiveness through both explicit communication with their managers as well as through systems for individual agency, such as turning off phones at night or silencing email notifications for blocks of time throughout the day.
Each participant developed a system for presence and energy activation that integrated layers of grace and compassion for self and others. This looked like processes for preparing to enter into a meeting with presence, tools to identify when presence is lost or attention is waning, and skills for activating presence even when energy was low.
Up Your Energy series was a success.
“This workshop with EYV encouraged me to build further awareness about the importance of what we can do to increase energy levels. We know and we tend to forget and to lose some good habits. This workshop helped to reinstall good habits and get to know some new ones.”
–V. Maes, VP Healthcare
The Result
New found sense of resilience
Sometimes all it takes for your employees to reinvest in their work and success of the organization, is to take the time and dedicate the space to hear their needs and directly address their wants.
Participants expressed feeling like a weight had been lifted simply because they were able to share their challenges and gain simple tools to support them in feeling a deeper sense of agency to manage their energetic capacity.
