The RISE Framework is the heart of how we work at Levandi Solutions — a gentle, structured, and trauma informed pathway designed to support you through every stage of a difficult workplace experience.

When you’re dealing with conflict, bullying, unfair treatment, or uncertainty about your rights, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure where to begin. RISE gives you a clear, step-by-step process that helps you regain stability, understand what’s really happening, and move forward with confidence and control.

Each stage of the framework focuses on what you need most in that moment — from emotional recovery and clarity, to practical strategy and rebuilding your future. It’s an approach that brings together wellbeing, HR awareness, and real-world guidance, so you’re supported both personally and professionally.

With RISE, you don’t have to navigate this alone. You move through each step at a pace that feels safe, supported, and empowering — until you finally emerge stronger, clearer, and ready for your next chapter.

R – Recover

Workplace harm can leave you anxious, drained, or doubting yourself.
This first stage focuses on healing, grounding, and emotional recovery — creating safety before taking action.

You’ll learn how to:

Stabilise your mental health and reduce stress or overwhelm.

Reconnect with your sense of identity and self-worth.

Process the psychological impact of bullying, burnout, or injustice.

Rebuild inner safety and confidence so you can think clearly and plan your next steps.

I – Identify

When you’re in the middle of workplace bullying, harassment, conflict, or unfair treatment, you need clarity fast.
This stage helps you understand what’s really happening — emotionally, procedurally, and from an HR/employment rights perspective.

You’ll learn how to:

Understand the behaviour you’re experiencing and whether it falls under bullying, harassment, discrimination, or unfair management.

Know your rights in plain English, including what your employer must do and what protections you have.

Navigate HR processes, so you understand meetings, investigations, grievances, timelines, and what to expect next.

Document your situation properly, and prepare or refine letters, emails, or a grievance if needed.

Explore your realistic options, from raising concerns to requesting support, escalating safely, or planning a strategic transition.

S – Strategise

Once you understand what’s happening, the next step is to act with confidence, control, and emotional stability.
This stage helps you build practical strategies to handle your situation, communicate clearly, and protect your wellbeing and career.

You’ll learn how to:

Communicate assertively, so you can respond to difficult behaviour, set boundaries, and stay calm under pressure.

Prepare for HR or management meetings, knowing what to say, what not to say, and how to advocate for yourself confidently.

Create a clear action plan, outlining your next steps whether you choose to address, escalate, or transition.

Manage triggering situations, using emotional regulation tools to stay grounded and composed during conflict or confrontation.

Strengthen your professional presence, reframing self-doubt and building the confidence needed to navigate challenges effectively.

E – Emerge

This final stage is about stepping out of survival mode and into a future that feels grounded, aligned, and genuinely yours.
Here, you move beyond what happened and begin shaping a career — and life — that reflects your values, boundaries, and purpose.

You’ll learn how to:

Redefine your professional identity, reconnecting with your strengths, voice, and sense of direction.

Build a future-focused plan, setting clear steps for growth, stability, and long-term career fulfilment.

Develop lasting resilience, creating emotional tools and habits that protect you in future workplaces.

Move forward with clarity and self-assurance, equipped with strategies that support your wellbeing and ambitions.
