York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority
Helping Businesses Create Happier, Healthier Workplaces
We were commissioned by a local authority to support local businesses in creating happier, healthier and more resilient teams.
The programme combined a bespoke journal with a six-module coaching programme covering topics including goal setting, wellbeing, resilience, psychological safety and managing change. The journals were integrated throughout the programme, giving participants practical tools to reflect on and apply their learning.
A key part of the programme was 1:1 support for individual staff members. This gave us the opportunity to work closely with people on their own challenges, goals and development — something that consistently featured in the positive feedback we received.
Across six months, we worked with 10 businesses, supporting teams and individuals to turn the ideas from the programme into practical changes in their working lives. The result was strong engagement and consistently positive feedback from both organisations and the individuals we worked with.
"The program has been so helpful to me personally. When I finished day one I felt confident to speak to Joe about my own struggles and that I needed support. Joe was brilliant and because he built trust, I had 1:1 coaching support with him which turned my life around. He is such an honest and real person who is clearly passionate about what he does. I would 100% recommend this — it has put me on a path to regain who I am and help me overcome challenges I have been struggling with."
