About the programme...

Your Team Leaders will join a community of like minded professionals to explore, experiment and grow together into champions of human-centric team culture.

The Foundation Programme will equip Team Leaders with the knowledge and tools they need to have a positive impact on their team and enable them to build a culture that supports trust, a sense of belonging, togetherness and psychological safety - the building blocks for every high performing, resilient team.

Our approach to learning is grounded in science, inspired by the best places to work, and driven by human connection and shared experience. Team leaders will experience human-centric culture first hand and, by the end of the programme, will truly understand how being intentional in their behaviour can create an environment that empowers everyone to thrive.

Defining Human-Centric Team Culture

A human-centric workplace prioritises the most human of values and psychological needs. It is in this environment, that team leaders are empowered to build and nurture a culture where team members feel a sense of belonging and safety.
