Coaching: Every member of our professionally accredited coaching team has been a senior leader in an organisation, so their support is backed up with practical experience and genuine know-how. And the team is regularly evolving, to ensure we have the mix of skills needed to meet the challenges of today’s NHS.

Assessment: Understanding the capability of your people can mean the difference between success and failure. Done well, it can increase levels of engagement and productivity across an organisation. The largest assessment practice of our type in the UK, we lead the way in helping clients predict how their people will perform in different roles, teams, organisations and cultures.

Outplacement: As the UK’s market leader we’re ideally positioned to give you and your people the best possible service. Our outplacement services can help your people move quickly to secure their next career move and ‘get on’ with their lives. We can also help you send a positive message out to those you retain about your people values. We have the range of outplacement services needed to provide an end-to-end solution - supporting you and your employees from initial planning through transition and beyond. Find out more...

Learning and Development: When organisations restructure, downsize or upsize, people can find themselves in management roles which require skills and experience they have yet to learn. Our management development programmes are highly practical and focus on ensuring people are confident and competent to manage others and make a positive impact on your organisation. These programmes include “Leading in Tough Times” and “Technical Expert to Professional Leader”.

These services can stand alone to support particular needs. However, we are expert in drawing our capabilities together to support organisations going through significant change in areas such as:

Merger and Consolidation

Foundation Trust Transition

Clinical Commissioning Group Development
