Our story
What we believe
We have seen the positive impact on peoples performance, wellbeing and engagement that a more compassionate, kind and inclusive approach to leadership and workplace culture brings.
We know how important it is that people feel the things they need to at work for them to thrive, achieve and stay well whilst delivering what the business requires of them in an increasingly volatile and unpredictable world. We believe that workplaces underpinned by compassion enable that to become a reality.
We believe that compassion is the oil greasing the wheels in the day to day running of our organisations and we believe that now more than ever we need to pour on more oil.
What we do
The reality is that it takes courage to lead with compassion. It is a bold call to action and it takes a courageous organisation to be willing to shift its thinking and approach, to journey the road less travelled and take the action required to awaken the compassion potential that already exists within it.
We help leaders and teams in organisations to make that shift. To consider how compassion can be seen and experienced within their organisation and its powerful and positive impact on organisational culture and performance.
We help you to develop the reinforcing systems, practices and behaviours needed to create your own organisational climate of compassion where everyone feels ‘in it together’, and mutually accountable for building the culture they wish to work within.
We provide coaching, development programmes, workshops and consultative services to help you awaken and embed the power of workplace compassion.
360° of compassion
Everything we do is underpinned by our ‘360° of compassion’ framework. These are what we believe to be the essential qualities of the compassionate leader and the underpinning principles of the compassionate workplace.
They are also our company values and beliefs.
Why we do it
We believe that there is evidence of an increasing level of awareness within organisations around the need to build cultures characterised by empathy, inclusion and kindness.
However there is still a significant amount of work to be done. We believe that it is time for a shift from compassion within organisations and across leadership sometimes being seen as weakness, or a ‘nice to have’, to a new approach that positions compassion as a strength and an underpinning guiding principle and organisational value which enables the delivery of real business results.
“The compassionate leader strives every-day to role model the qualities of compassionate leadership at all times, in all situations, to inspire, build and nurture a high performing workplace culture of compassion where everyone can thrive, achieve and stay well”
Steve Hargreaves, Founder
We care that the workplace should be a place where people thrive, achieve and stay well. Where people feel included, valued and seen for who they are, not just what they do. Where people feel they belong rather than merely fit in.
We care about organisations being places where high performance, engagement and wellbeing are the norm, for everyone.
We care about helping to inspire and build workplace cultures of compassion.
