John Wroot, Operations Manager
“Leading Your People To Success presented us with an ideal opportunity to structure a change programme using a robust Culture Change model.”
“An initial employee survey provided valuable information from which we planned our actions and selected a team to take the process forward. Keys to our successful change have been the ownership of actions by relevant members of staff, support / determination to get things done, and external guiding / coaching from Leading Your People To Success.”
The company achieved a 69% increase in Productivity (Gross Value Added / Employee).
