Springboard is Lendlease Foundation’s flagship people development program focused on sustainability. With the postponement of the 2020 programs due to COVID-19, we decided to continue the momentum virtually with a focus on community connection.
The Community Connection program has the following objectives:
-
Offer powerful virtual experiential learning opportunities with real activities and consequences
-
Provide positive connection between the community and Lendlease delegates
-
Build resilience & capacity
-
Be a powerful example of ‘Living with purpose and inspiring through hope’
-
Pave the way forward
The virtual learning journey was designed for Springboard alumni and future delegates to have meaningful human connection with the community. We worked in small groups to help build the resilience, capacity and rapport to help each other navigate the complexity and uncertainty of Covid-19.
The outcomes achieved were more then we could ever have imagined in these uncertain times. The feedback highlighted the importance of human connection, hope and sense of community.
“Lendlease continues to amaze me and the delegates that we engage with are wonderful human beings, bringing their diversity, dedication and overall niceness to play in our virtual Springboard sessions”.
