Insights is a psychometric tool that uses a simple four-colour model to help people understand themselves and each other better. Our licensed practitioners guide teams through engaging workshops where everyone learns what their dominant “colour energy” means and how that affects communication, motivation, and collaboration.

Clients often say the Insights journey is as revealing as it is fun – you come away with a fresh perspective on your strengths and how to work more effectively as a team. We then help embed those insights, which might be through team-effectiveness sessions, leadership development, or follow-up coaching.

Coaching provides a supportive space for individuals to reflect, set goals and build confidence.

Our coaching service is completely tailored to you. Led by our experienced coaches, we design bespoke programmes for individuals, managers or teams that help with everything from adapting to change and navigating culture, to boosting confidence and leadership skills.

Conflict happens, but early mediation can prevent small issues from escalating. Our expert mediators step in neutrally and sensitively, guiding colleagues to talk through concerns, be genuinely heard, and reach their own workable solutions.

We’ve found that starting mediation early protects not only relationships, but also morale and productivity, and can save your organisation from costly disputes.

As well as being a legal requirement, an employee handbook sets out your company’s policies and expectations in one place. It helps employees and employer understand their rights and responsibilities from the start of working together. It also provides managers with a consistent framework to follow. Done well, it reduces misunderstandings, lowers risks and supports a positive workplace culture.

Compliance means your policies reflect current UK employment law, covering areas like equality, health and safety, data protection and disciplinary procedures.

If you think your current policies and contracts may be out of date or no longer compliant, we can review your documents free of charge, and recommend any changes that may be needed now or in the coming months.

What motivates employees will be different for each individual. In the workplace, it can come from recognition, support and development opportunities as well as pay, a healthy work-life balance, flexibility and a positive culture.

Our team can develop a tailored plan to assess your current levels of employee engagement and identify the key drivers that will motivate your people.

Yes. Managers and employees need to understand their responsibilities in relation to preventing, recognising and stopping bullying and harassment in the workplace.

A Dignity at Work policy sets out the behaviours your organisation expects, helping you create a respectful, safe workplace.

Since October 2024, employers are legally required to take proactive steps to prevent sexual harassment, and having a clear policy protects your business and reassures employees that concerns will be addressed properly.

The Employment Rights Bill introduces several changes designed to give employees stronger protections, including adjustments around flexible working, family leave and dismissal rights.

As an employer, you will need to review your policies and procedures to stay compliant. We’ve created a compliance checklist to help you prepare, and our consultants are on hand to guide you through the practical steps. Visit our Employments Rights Bill Resource Hub.
