MONSTER Encounter: Meet “The ROLE SHIFTER”
The Role Shifter whispers…

Can you spot the signs?
👾 “It´ll take only a minute” - Started the day with one job and ended up doing five others?
👾 “Can you cover this as well?” - Keep taking on tasks that weren't originally yours?
👾 “I'm no longer sure what my priorities are." - Finished the day wondering what your actual role is?

️If this sounds familiar… you've just encountered the Role Shifter. Ready to learn how to defeat it? The Monster in the Corp!, component of the 3-pillar ROSE Training Kit, lets you practice exactly that.

For organizations, the new Monsters in the Corp! Game offers a fresh, engaging tool for developing resilience, psychological safety and collaborative problem-solving. Because sometimes, the fastest way to solve a workplace challenge is to give it a face.

🌹ROSE Newsletter #2

Young professionals don't want more information - they want hands-on learning.
They want to tackle real workplace challenges, test different solutions, reflect on their choices, and build skills they can put into practice the very next day.
That's one of the biggest insights the ROSE Project has uncovered over the past few months. 🌹

In Newsletter #2, we're sharing how we're turning these insights into practical learning resources for HR professionals, mentors, trainers, and organisations.

Here's what you'll discover:
✅ Monsters in the Corp! – a collaborative game that blends storytelling, role-play, and gamification to explore real workplace challenges.
✅ The Workplace Self-Development Power Bank – a practical handbook packed with tools to strengthen wellbeing, resilience, and personal development in the workplace.
✅ Behind the scenes of the ROSE Training Week – where our European partners tested, refined, and validated these resources in real-life learning experiences.

Because developing skills doesn't happen by simply reading a handbook.
It happens when people get involved, try things out, reflect, collaborate... and learn by doing. 💡
📖 Explore Newsletter #2 and discover a new way of learning for the workplace.

Every workplace has its challenges. Sometimes it's stress. Sometimes burnout. Sometimes it's simply the feeling that everything is happening too fast.

The ROSE project is developing practical tools to help workplace mentors, trainers and HR professionals support employee wellbeing in their everyday practice.

Because creating healthier workplaces starts with understanding people.

🌿 Summer Challenge: One Small Action

This week, choose one small action that could make someone's workday a little brighter.

💚 Say thank you.

💚 Ask a colleague how they're really doing.

💚 Take a proper lunch break.

💚 Offer support without being asked.

💚 Celebrate a small win.

Small actions may seem insignificant, but they help create workplaces where people feel seen, supported and valued.

Healthy workplaces aren't built by big initiatives alone—they're built through everyday actions.

🌞 SUMMER IS A GOOD TIME TO RECHARGE.

We often think we need to finish everything before we can truly rest. But in reality, taking care of ourselves helps us return with more energy, creativity and resilience.

This summer, give yourself permission to slow down, even if it's just for a few moments each day.

🌿 Take a walk without checking your phone.
☕ Enjoy your coffee without thinking about your to-do list.
💬 Spend time with people who make you smile.
🌸 Celebrate the small moments that help you feel balanced.

Workplace wellbeing isn't built only through big changes. It also grows through the everyday habits that help us stay healthy, connected and motivated.

Wishing everyone a relaxing and refreshing summer! 🌹

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.
