  • Visioning & Managing Organisational Change:
    We help organisations articulate and develop strategies for converting their visions of a better future into an effective reality. Our approach encourages long term sustainability and strategic insight, both within and outwith the organisation. We facilitate these processes with both small & large scale organisations, often as part of wider ‘strategic development’ strategies.

  • Organisational Stress Audits and Employee Assistance Programmes:
    We map organisational factors which contribute to unhealthy stress levels; develop strategies to enable managers to build a healthier organisational culture; offer support to both managers & staff in organisations to sustain a healthy working environment where stress can be more effectively managed at individual & collective levels. We regard this ‘Orgnisational Stress Audit’ service as a necessary and frequently vital complementary component of our EAP services.
