The third ROSE project newsletter (October 2026) has been published, presenting innovative learning tools designed to support workplace well-being, resilience, and employee skills development. This edition places particular emphasis on the project’s latest resource, the Handbook of Storytelling.

The ROSE project is developing three complementary learning tools: the Employee Development Power Bank, the Monsters in the Corp role-playing game, and the Handbook of Storytelling. Together, these resources aim to provide practical support for HR professionals, mentors, trainers, and employees in addressing workplace challenges, strengthening collaboration, and creating healthier, more resilient working environments.

The newsletter introduces the methodology of the Handbook of Storytelling, which uses personal experiences and workplace stories to encourage self-reflection, empathy, communication, and problem-solving. The five-chapter handbook combines practical exercises, interactive storytelling techniques, workplace examples, and opportunities for AI-supported creative writing.

The publication also explores how storytelling can become an effective tool for organisational knowledge sharing, leadership development, mentoring, and workplace learning. Through real-world business examples, it demonstrates how sharing experiences, reflecting on challenges, and learning from mistakes can contribute to personal and organisational growth.

In addition, the newsletter explains how the three ROSE learning tools complement one another to form an integrated employee development package. It invites companies, HR professionals, trainers, and mentors to explore the resources, participate in practical activities, and discover new approaches to workplace well-being and professional development.
