Higher Education

We focus on positive psychology and a strengths-based approach to helping leaders and managers improve performance and job satisfaction.

We believe deep relationship building and positive engagement equates to great employee experiences, high-performing individuals and teams, and high levels of employee retention.

We understand every university is different and we look to tailor our advice and services to your specific needs; please get in touch and we’ll be happy to arrange an initial conversation.

higher-education-stat-1

Nearly 1 in 3 higher education employees don’t feel ‘valued’ by their organisation. A huge issue in terms of buy-in, engagement and potential lost productivity.

higher-education-stat-2

Nearly 1 in 2 are likely to leave their role if a suitable opportunity presents itself; a significant risk to further talent drain from the sector.

higher-education-stat-5

Just over 1 in 5 are likely to fall ‘quietly quitting’ category: where their lack of engagement and negative perception of their work environment is having a significant impact on their productivity, working relations and personal well-being.

higher-education-stat-4

Over 1 in 3 feel their managers don’t regularly engage with them to improve their performance, address issues or concerns, or take an active role in coaching or developing them. The same number also feel their managers lack the training, skills, and support to get the most out of their team.

higher-education-stat-3

Just under 1 in 2 agree they are consistently able to do what they do best at work: a wasted opportunity to improve engagement, well-being and increase productivity.
