You might be wondering why our Team Members at Phoenix were recently handling pineapples during a training session. There’s actually a very good reason for it – and it’s all about learning, engagement, and a little bit of fun.
During our Train the Trainer programme, Team Members explored exercises with a mix of instructions, some made perfect sense, others… not so much. The activity quickly highlighted that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to learning. Clear instructions, a defined objective, and engaging delivery are essential for training to really stick.
Putting a session together isn’t as simple as it looks. It takes skill, creativity, and understanding, skills our Learning and Development department shared with Team Members from across the organisation. The goal? To make training as engaging as possible, particularly for sessions delivered by our Integrated Therapies Team – training that isn’t seen everywhere but is vital to our whole-organisation approach to therapeutic care.
At Phoenix, we know that learning doesn’t have to be dull. On Fun at Work Day we reflect on this perfect example of how we combine skill development with laughter, connection, and a sense of community. Whether it’s handling a pineapple or trying out a new training technique, our Team Members learn while having fun, strengthening the culture that supports every Person and Child we support.
It’s not just about training – it’s about creating experiences that stick, inspire, and empower. And that’s exactly what we aim to do every day, making Phoenix a place where learning, laughter, and professional growth go hand in hand.
If you’re looking for an organisation that values clinical autonomy, person-centred care, and a truly integrated team where you can flourish and grow, then Phoenix could be the place for you.
