The rise of purpose….
Covid-19 has accelerated a shift: people are demanding greater flexibility in how both individuals and organisations operate. The organisations that emerged unscathed from the previous economic crash were those who put purpose above profit. Humans want humanity. Psychology helps us understand how best to lead the change…..
Our streams…

- 67% of employees feel less connected to colleagues than they used to. How can you ensure employees are not isolated?
- We know job security helps employees develop a sense of wellbeing. What impact will Covid-19 have?
- How can we look after employee wellbeing during the return to work?
- Employee habits and work environments affect employees.
- Wellbeing and their outputs. Is this the responsibility of the organisation or the individual?
