Client:

Developed in partnership with Anderson Peak Performance.

Primary aims:

To develop a comprehensive, online course for organisations to improve the wellbeing of people at work.

Key challenges:

  • To provide a course that is comprehensive, but low-cost
  • To provide a course that is flexible to implement
  • To create a course suitable for users at all levels of an organisation

Solution:

"It Can Happen to Anyone" is a versatile and wide-ranging course. It can be followed at different levels, depending on the needs and interests of the learner. It provides a broad range of e-learning resources, including:

  • Stress analysis tools
  • In-depth scientific explanations
  • Quizzes
  • Questionnaires
  • First-hand accounts

Aiming to meet the needs of everyone in an organisation, the course is flexible, so that it can be dipped in and out of, or gone through methodically, module by module, either at work or at home.

Beginning with the basics - recognising and understanding stress, and identifying its sources - the course moves on to use the latest stress analysis tools, while also providing ideas, tips and techniques that people can use to help themselves manage stress and find a more effective way of thinking about things.

The course can be run on an intranet or within a VLE. It includes a personalised, printable action plan and certification of completion.

Dr Rosemary Anderson, founder of Anderson Peak Performance and an expert in the field of stress management, who devised the course, has been impressed by the journey her ideas made into the final product:

The MKM team was extremely skilled and innovative, turning my original theory and ideas into an extremely interactive package with a wide range of different activities...All feedback on the programme has been excellent and I have already been asked to write another. I will therefore definitely be asking MKM to do the IT work for me again.
