In the past decade increasing attention has been paid to the need to develop employees’ soft skills. Research shows that employers now rank
the importance of communication skills on an equal level to technical skills (hard skills).
Lack of proper communication skills in the workplace may lead to:
•

Misperceptions, mistakes, and misunderstandings
Wasted time and money
A decrease in innovation
Team dysfunctions & Interpersonal conflict
Revenue losses
An increase in inefficiencies
A decrease in productivity
A decreased overall organisation performance
Inspite of all the negative effects of inadequate communicaiton skills, many employees are still struggling to communicate effectively. The
lack in skills makes it near impossible for employees and even organisations to compete effectively in the current market.
P5+’s Interpersonal Communication Skill Development Programme uses the stage as a medium for develoing essential communication
skills. This provides employees with the oportunity to ‘learn by doing’ and develop the critical and essentail communication skills required to
thrive in the work environment.
Our Model
We view interpersonal communication as being comprised of 10 main interelated sub-categories. Developing skills in each category leads to
an increase in overall confidence in interpersonal communication.

Confidence
Our approach
This model is used as a guideline for creating relevant competency-enhancing Master-Classes which use the theatre as a medium for participants’ development. The programme itself is designed by P5+ and drama experts are used to bring the learning to life on stage.
These master-classes allow for action-learning; learning which supports insight, motivation, skill development, real-world practice and
accountability, making what is learnt there more practical and transferable to the workplace.
The approach taken will be guided by the principles that people learn best through critical reflection, managing real-life concerns and adopting a within-to-outside approach. We also believe that learning should occur in a non-threatening and comfortable environment, allowing
participants to generate insights they can commit to.
