An Exclusive Showcase

Addressing Workforce Friction

Helping People Perform When Pressure Builds

 

Many organisations today are navigating a mix of commercial pressure and people strain. 

  • Hiring is becoming more cautious. 
  • Skill gaps remain difficult to close. 
  • Managers are being asked to carry more. 
  • Burnout and disengagement are still visible. 

At the same time, expectations continue to rise, from adapting to AI, to improving engagement, to sustaining performance. 

For L&D, HR, OD, and Talent leaders, the challenge is sharper still. You are expected to solve engagement, upskill for AI, and retain talent, often with flat or shrinking budgets. The question is not which programme to choose. It is why so few solutions actually change behaviour beyond the room. 

In many cases, the challenge is not knowing what needs attention. The harder gap is turning that knowledge into consistent action when pressure builds. 

This is where the dicussion about workforce friction becomes relevant. 

What is Workforce Friction

Workforce friction is the everyday drag that slows performance and makes change harder to sustain. 

It can show up as: 

  • Disengagement that is not immediately visible 
  • Workload pressure affecting judgement and consistency 
  • Hesitation around difficult conversations 
  • Uneven confidence when using AI in day-to-day decisions 
  • Learning that does not translate into action 

Over time, this friction can affect performance, retention, and the ability to turn priorities into action. Building resilience helps individuals and teams absorb pressure without breaking momentum. Resilience is not just a wellbeing metric, it directly affects voluntary turnover and discretionary effort. 

Experience Jungle Fire™

This showcase features Jungle Fire™, an experiential learning experience designed to surface how teams plan, communicate, and execute when time and resources are limited. 

Grounded in Eagles Flight’s experiential learning approach and backed by principles of behavioural science, the session helps participants connect what happens in the experience to real workplace behaviours, including planning, resource utilisation, teamwork, risk-taking, and information gathering. 

Unlike typical learning activities, Jungle Fire™ uses behavioural science to create observable patterns of planning, risk-taking, and coordination,that maps directly to how your teams respond to real deadlines and ambiguity. 

A Themed Learning Experience Designed for Planning, Teamwork, and Execution Under Pressure 

Who This Showcase Is Designed For

HR Managers  |  Learning & Development Managers  |  Organisational Development Managers  |  Talent Managers

What You’ll Gain

The experience aims to support you in: 

  • Surfacing where performance may be slowed by friction across your teams — and considering why 
  • Recognising early signs of disengagement or overload before they potentially become retention risks 
  • Exploring practical ways to support judgement, communication, and follow-through 
  • Building insight into how behaviour may affect performance, retention, and engagement 
  • Considering a diagnostic lens you might use in talent reviews, learning design, or team interventions 

Focus Areas

The activity aims to explore and create a conversation about: 

  • How friction shows up in real behaviour, not just in theory 
  • What supports or slows coordination, judgement, and follow-through 
  • The difference between knowing a skill and using it under pressure 
  • How to recognise and address friction patterns across teams 

Why This Matters

Many organisations already know what needs attention. 

The harder question is: What gets in the way of acting on it consistently? 

This showcase provides a practical way to explore that question, using experience, reflection, and behavioural science to connect insight to action.
