Our Role Players

Our business simulation programme will ensure that your people embed their learning and transfer it back to your workplace. The role player assigned has often worked extensively within your sector.

Many of our professional ‘real players’ have had a previous life in the corporate or public sector before retraining as an actor. Our range of professional actor workplace ‘real players’ are adept at embodying managers, employees, customers, clients, patients, Healthcare Professionals and members of the public. Our ‘real players;’ are trained in-house, are fully briefed and integrate seamlessly into your workplace.

Our Take Effect Role Players

  • Undergo a rigorous selection process. Our professional simulators have in-depth interviews, demonstrate all the skills required, provide references and so on. They attend our internal role player assessments to ensure they are highly skilled.
  • Prior formal training. The real players have been vetted to ensure prior formal training in their field at accredited drama schools, universities or other relevant courses and experience.
  • Understand the demands of a training and business environment. The simulators that we use are experienced and create a safe, supportive environment.
  • Assessed by us. The role players are assessed by us internally to ensure a high quality and standard for you.
  • They are adept at recreating the real-life business simulation. With our convincing life-like simulation, your learners will fully engage and thus reap the benefits from practicing their new skills.
  • Provide consistency and realism. Our professional simulator offers you consistency and realism in the role, as opposed to the alternative of using your own nervous colleague to role play with. This is essential for your teams, particularly when your participants are being assessed.As a Take Effect Role Player, they follow our Take ‘E.F.F.E.C.T’ approach:

Our Role Player Approach

  • E – Effective in supporting a training session, following the brief and helping you reach your learning objectives.
  • F – Familiar with your workplace sector that the simulation takes place in and ensure that they are fully ‘up to speed’ with the brief content. They can improvise around the subject matter with ease.
  • F – Follow the set processes and structure that are in place for the sessions. They fully understand the set boundaries that are in place.
  • E – Empathic with your learners, understanding that the feedback must be depersonalised, positive and constructive.
  • C – ClarityThey provide clarity for participants with constructive feedback. In addition, they actively seek clarity with their brief in their preparation prior to the day.
  • T – Truth. They bring a strong element of truth and realism to the simulation. It is as ‘real life’ as possible, following requirements of the agreed brief. They are truthful whilst being objective in their feedback. They maintain a safe, supportive environment.
