We take our ordinary day to day conversations for granted in much the same way as we take breathing for granted: it just happens. Yet the conversations we have determine the culture of our workplace. The success of any organisation depends on the conversations it has: the way we talk to each other. The cost to an organisation where interpersonal communication breaks down can be catastrophic. We help your people turn the conversations they have into incisive, productive interactions that are effective and beneficial to all.

The culture of an organisation dictates the way people communicate and behave. If people are unable to communicate openly and freely organisations stifle creativity and close down the internal feedback loops that enable managers to keep a check that operations are being carried out in accordance with best practice. We help business understand and put in place the organisational structures that get the best out of their people.

Over the last decade we have seen the concept of wellness in the workplace develop. Increasingly promoted by Government initiatives and professional organisations such as the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, the logic is simple, every year businesses are losing, depending on which research you look at, between £30 - £50 billion in revenue. Much of this financial loss stems from work related stress and muscular skeletal disorders. A healthy workforce encourages a wealthy economy and saves resources that the business sector and government can ill afford to lose.

Any dynamic team that is vibrant and creative will always have people who disagree with each other at some time. However there is a fine line between healthy disagreement and hostile conflict that generates an unhealthy working atmosphere which inevitably takes it’s toll on both employees and employer. We help our clients to develop the open cultures that enable conflict to be used creatively.
