why people matter most

Thriving workplaces are built on a people-centric culture: one that prioritises wellbeing, communication, and growth. When the culture is right, the sense of purpose is strong, and shared values drive results. When employees feel seen, heard, and supported to grow as professionals, they bring their best selves to work, leading to increased motivation, higher performance, and improved outcomes for all.

Right now in the UK, however, workplace burnout and stress have reached critical levels, significantly impacting both employees and businesses. With the UK Mental Health audit 2024 revealing that a staggering 90% of employees surveyed had experienced high or extreme levels of stress, with 1 in 5 reaching burnout, it’s no wonder that work-related stress and burnout is costing the UK economy an estimated £51 billion annually (Deloitte). The research is stark: organisations that fail to nurture a culture which allows people to thrive are facing costly consequences - high turnover of staff, lack of engagement, low morale, reduced productivity, long term absence, and reputational risks that make attracting top talent even harder. To put it simply, prioritising people is a business imperative if organisations want to gain and sustain a competitive advantage.

The good news is that with the right strategy in place, and the right training to support it, organisations can create a healthier, more engaged, and high-performing workforce.
