Team Training and Analysis
At Ibernetics we offer advanced corporate consulting to help your team improve group cohesion and communication, efficiently handle the stressors that arises on the job, and effectively recharge from that stress.
The mathematical structures that form the Unease Modulation Model can be applied to organizations as well as individuals. The model can be used to analyze how the different components of stress are being reinforced in an organization and then point to specific interventions to improve performance and reduce tension. The model can also provide cautionary advice for common recommendations that may worsen the effects of stress.
The first step is to help the team distinguish between the stress, the difficulty of the task and the unease we feel about the task, and the strain on our bodies caused by the task. We then separate organizational stress—the demands from inside the organization including communication among staff, creating schedules, and staff trainings—from operational stress. Operational stress comes from the demands involved in the day to day operations of the business that arise from outside the organization such as dealing with customers.
We also use cutting edge biofeedback technology to observe the physiological effects of the group dynamics and demonstrate the immediate effect our techniques have on the strain a person is experiencing. To learn more visit the HRV apps page.
By breaking down what stress actually is and how it affects us, we teach people how to accurately assess what they are experiencing, what area needs to be addressed, and which skills they can use to improve the situation.
Here is a sample of what consulting can include:
- Online recorded trainings covering the Unease Modualtion Model basic concepts so that staff can familiarize themselves with the material before the training.
- In person or virtual training with Dr. Arpaia to learn how to break down stress and the different skills need to work effectively. These include the one-breath reset technique for quickly coping with high levels of stress, observation vs conclusion based thinking skills, and attention techniques.
- Use of our unique heart rate variability app so that staff members can see in real time that the techniques they are learning have an immediate and positive affect.
- Observation of staff members in their jobs and a written analysis by Dr. Arpaia of stress points for staff, possible solutions, as well as strengths within the organization.
- One on one meetings with 1-3 team leaders to discuss their specific concerns and provide feedback.
Here you can view a sample of the written analysis provided by Dr. Arpaia after a consultation and training with staff members. The consultation was done at a veterinary hospital and the report was sent to the regional manager after a staff training and observation.
