Tasneem’s support throughout our journey to grow from a small to medium enterprise has taken a phased approach, enabling her to truly understand the organisation and our vision, thus helping us to achieve our goals and become an attractive employer within the sector.
Thanks to Claris Coaching, everyone in the company is now aligned to our vision and values and understand the end goals. This is particularly effective for Senior Management as they see opportunities to develop and feel a part of the growth journey, in turn, impacting retention.
By reviewing our recruitment practices, namely interview capability and implementing the Birkman Method, we have seen business improvements here in the UK and at our international operations. Tasneem really understands the culture and requirements of management teams for all regions. Follow-up training & development now includes understanding Emotional Intelligence which is helping our managers to become better leaders.
