Why were we engaged?

ESV engaged AltusQ coach Stephen Shepherd to help them assess and reset their business vision.

What services did we provide?

  • Business "fact find" to uncover challenges and opportunities
  • Support of vision and strategy development
  • Facilitation of Partner off-sites
  • Executive coaching.

When did this engagement take place?

2014 - ongoing

What outcomes have there been to date?

Turnover is up 50%+. Staff numbers have almost doubled (constrained by the challenge of finding sufficiently high-quality candidates). Employee retention has significantly improved in an industry known for high churn levels.

In a 2018 Staff Pulse Survey:

  • 97% of employees agree that ESV is a great place to work (94% in 2016)
  • 97% of staff agree that the firm is moving in the right direction (90% in 2016)
  • 91% of people would happily recommend ESV to a friend seeking employment (85% in 2016)
  • 97% of people believe their manager/superior seems to genuinely care about them as a person and their career (88% in 2016, 75% in 2016).
