Rose Project - Play Grow Flourish

Research shows that mentoring can boost confidence, support wellbeing, strengthen workplace connections, and help young employees thrive—not just survive—at work. The ROSE Project highlights that 74% of people who had a mentor believe it contributed significantly to their success.

At ROSE, we believe that resilience grows through human connection. That's why we're developing practical and creative resources that combine mentoring, storytelling, peer learning, experiential activities, and gamified methods to support the next generation of employees.

Mood check-in at ROSE team:
👾How did it feel to work on the Monsters in the Office serious game during the past 3 days?

“Gaming is always great, especially if by gaming you can learn about yourself, can develop your personality.”

“Workplace is not as simple as it looks – it can be a playful monster world as well, while giving players enough clear structure to feel that their roles, choices and strategies truly can influence what comes next.”

“It was good to put myself into others’ shoes and make decisions from new perspectives.”

“Even being a part of testers/creators team, I became deeply immersed in the game through my personal experiences. The process of superpowers creation was both empowering and transformative.”

“Discovered many personal monsters in me while playing the game. It makes the process even more interesting and I feel relieved I am not the only one having these problems and maybe they can be solved.”

“Testing the game tested our creativity, our empathy, our understanding of others and it was such a valuable insight not only for the game but also for us as a consortium.”

“An adventurous, deep, insightful and very engaging experience!”

Weople Portugal was present in the III International Meeting on Policies and Programmes for Youth Wellbeing and Mental Health 2026.

The event brought together universities, psychologists, policymakers, youth organisations and researchers to explore one of the most pressing challenges of our time: supporting the mental health and wellbeing of young people.
We listened to inspiring presentations and powerful testimonies from university students facing real-life challenges in education, work and life transitions. Throughout the conference, a common message emerged: scientific evidence and knowledge creation are essential, but what young people need most is practical support that helps them navigate everyday challenges.

This is precisely where the ROSE Project comes in.
ROSE is all about supporting people at work — helping young adults (students, employees) and HR professionals prevent burnout, handle stress, and build emotional resilience in a changing world.

Well done ROSE team, Day 3! 💫☀️💫

On the second day of our internal ROSE Train-the-Trainers training, we experimented with a wide range of engaging methods and activities. It was a deep and adventurous immersion into the world of workplace well-being.

We explored gamified approaches to building awareness and developing skills, conducted employee energy audits, mapped personal values and sources of meaning, created personalised AI-powered game avatars, and faced off against office “monsters” — harmful workplace behaviour patterns such as those that undermine psychological safety.

We even celebrated with a birthday cake along the way! 🎂

A day full of learning, reflection, creativity, and fun — and a meaningful step towards helping workplaces become healthier, more supportive, and more human. 😉🌹

The ROSE partnership is kicking off its Learning, Teaching and Training Activity in Łódź, Poland, this morning!

Wishing everyone a fruitful week of learning, collaboration, inspiration, and meaningful progress.

A special thank you to our local partner, Lodz Chamber of Commerce, for doing everything possible to ensure the best possible start to the week.

Dziękujemy, Daria! 🇵🇱🌹

The most interesting angle is that organizations are beginning to treat AI not only as a technology issue, but as a workplace wellbeing issue.
The article argues that companies should assess the psychological impact of AI adoption, communicate transparently about role changes, and actively support employees through workforce transitions.
For young employees entering a rapidly changing world of work, the future is not only about learning how to use AI. It is also about learning how to stay confident, adaptable and mentally healthy while navigating change.

At ROSE, we believe that resilience, mentoring, storytelling and human connection will remain essential workplace skills in the age of AI.
Technology may change the way we work.
People will always shape how we thrive.
💬 What human skill do you think will become most valuable in the AI era?

June 1: International Children’s Day
International Children’s Day is a reminder that every child deserves guidance, support, and someone who believes in them.
In many ways, a great workplace mentor plays a similar role in our adult lives. They encourage growth, share wisdom, and help us navigate challenges with confidence. Just as children thrive with care and attention, professionals flourish when they have someone to guide and inspire them.
Today, let’s celebrate not only the children in our lives, but also the mentors who help us keep learning, growing, and reaching our potential—no matter our age.
