“Dr Vikki’s programme helped create a better team who didn’t just value wellbeing but became co-coaches to each other, a number of them being active promoters for the skills they had learned for the wider service.
Measurable outcomes:
Zero attrition and not a single colleague, once the programme started, throughout the whole organisational change, personal and societal pressures to take any mental health or sick leave.
We completed the largest merger & acquisition in UK history within the Telecommunication industry.
Our engagement score was 94%, over 10 points higher than a national high-performing benchmark.
Individuals made life changing decisions in and out of work for their careers, home-life and personal passions. We’ve seen so many benefits, that investment in team development and wellbeing is top priority.”

"The main positive impact has been on the ability to understand people better.
