Case Study

BP

After Cognacity’s sharp growth between 2008 and 2010, and having already built a reputation for ‘best-in-class’ services, we were honoured to support BP through a major crisis. In April 2010, an oil spill caused 4.9 million barrels to flow into the gulf of mexico, an industrial disaster considered to be the largest oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry.

BPs legal team, the largest team of corporate lawyers in one organisation worldwide, were under severe pressure. This pressure and stress, led many into burn out, presenteeism, absenteeism and mental ill health.

One of the many interventions used at Cognacity is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (or CBT) which focuses on short term treatment plans, by giving people the skills and awareness to begin to manage their own mental health. We adapted this approach into a workshop, focusing on building resilience and the ensuring the ability to perform under pressure. We delivered global resilience training to nearly 1,000 employees, effectively managing people struggling with burnout back to sustainable high performance. Our positive research outcomes were publised in the Journal of Occupational Psychology and demand grew for our flagship workshop; ‘Resilience: Performance Under Pressure’.
