This week I had the privilege of doing work experience with Inpulse. I am currently at Sixth Form studying Psychology, Sociology and Biology and I am looking to do a degree course in Psychology next year. Spending time at Inpulse for my work experience has helped me see how psychology is used practically in the […]
Employee engagement is a concept that can make a significant contribution to business success, yet in many ways, is still poorly understood and unappreciated. Sending round an annual employee survey might have been considered sufficient in previous generations, but there’s far more to employee engagement than asking everyone to fill in a questionnaire once a […]
The Inpulse team has just returned from Amsterdam, where we took part in this year’s HRD Europe conference. It was energising and exciting to meet and share thoughts with leading HRDs, talent specialists, learning and development experts and engagement practitioners. Dominic Walters, our Director of Consulting, presented on the ‘Secret recipe of engagement’. The presentation […]
In many ways, engaged and motivated employees are the foundation of a successful business. When your team share your vision, are committed to the company’s values and are working towards the same mission, it’s much easier for management to steer the ship in the right direction. So how do you engage – and continue to […]
It has been a real privilege to be part of helping to establish employee pulse surveys as a key element of a company’s approach to listening to their employees and gathering opinions. The topics can range from a company’s culture to the company’s results. Simplicity is key! That’s why I get a little warm glow every time a prospective or existing client comments on the simplicity of Inpulse. We want to make it easy and […]
‘Annual performance review’ -three words that frequently strike terror into the hearts of team leaders and team members alike. For the former they represent endless form filling and back to back awkward conversations in stuffy rooms. For the latter they mean self-justification, and uncomfortable, stilted discussions with the boss. This may be a slight exaggeration, but it’s certainly true […]
Talking recently with a group of communicators from the pharmaceutical sector, the conversation turned to the placebo effect – where medicines which have no active ingredient are given to patients for psychological rather than physiological reasons. In other words, the drugs themselves will have no chemical impact, but often the belief that they are doing some good heartens the patient and this can aid […]
I attended a European Referendum debate in my local Methodist church last week. As you’d expect the debate made it’s way round to sovereignty and as I sat there listening to the two sides of the argument I couldn't help but think how similar the concepts of sovereignty and values are. For a start, both are concepts we feel are […]
After 15 years of helping companies lead people through change you’ll be unsurprised to know that we have created an approach to help organisations engage and lead people through a change, so that the business benefits are achieved. Today I want to focus on one action that we insist on implementing when meeting with potential clients who ask us to help them take people through change. It’s low tech and not revolutionary, but I […]
A question we get asked a lot is about how to lead and engage remote workers. This is a key challenge within the construction industry with employees out on sites. Working with our clients Kier Group & Balfour Beatty we have learnt a huge amount about these topics over the last few years. What is really […]
‘Less is more’ – the saying attributed to architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, is usually taken to mean that simplicity, clarity and focus enable effective and productive design. He was talking about buildings, but increasingly we are seeing a similar approach to leadership development. Up until quite recently, clients were often focused on quantity and intensity when we were designing programmes – […]
