BRATHAYWHO WE DO IT FOR

OUR REPUTATION: BUILT ON YOUR SUCCESSBrathay’s reputation is founded on helping our clients build strong, energised organisations that can weather times of economic turbulence and emerge stronger. We work across all sectors and industries; from engineering to retail to international logistics.

Our scope is wide ranging. We work with organisations year after year as an integral partner, developing their people for the long-term, as well as addressing immediate needs. We succeed in keeping our bespoke approach by constantly listening, and by reviewing your business requirements and feedback as your business needs evolve.

We also work on a quick response basis providing tailored solutions. This includes maintaining and developing effective relationships with customers and suppliers, working with senior leadership teams in aligning values and behaviours, and facilitating productive dialogue between operational management and trades union representatives.

Our clients recognise that embracing organisational change gives them a competitive edge. By engaging their people they retain skills and knowledge, develop new and innovative ways to meet organisational challenges and foster a partnership mentality that means employees go the extra mile.

Brathay consultants have the rare ability to bring out the best in people at all levels in an organisation, from the disengaged to high-fliers, helping them to transform from simply doing to doing something brilliant.

BRATHAYOUR TEAM

BRATHAYOUR APPROACH

ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE AND VALUESWe help you define and embed your culture and values; bringing company values to life, creating ownership and lasting change.

RAISING LEADERSHIP CAPABILITYWe help senior teams to work together, leading change from the front and giving a powerful, unified message. We raise leaders’ self-awareness and develop their personal leadership impact.

DEVELOPING HIGH PERFORMING TEAMSWe are experts in developing teams at all levels in organisations; building relationships and resolving conflict; increasing performance and effectiveness; and understanding the power of collaboration.

AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO CHANGEThis helps you engage your people, create desire for change, improve processes, and resolve business issues to improve performance.

ENGAGING IN CHANGEFrom weathering economic storms, to reacting to market pressures, or simply finding new ways to grow the business, every dynamic organisation needs the right tools to create, or respond to, change.

We know that change isn’t always easy. Our approach focuses on employee engagement, because companies whose people understand their organisation’s goals and challenges consistently outperform the competition.

Brathay’s successful change programmes are tailored around the specific, current needs of your organisation, from large scale change programmes, to smaller departmental or team restructures.

OUR SUCCESSFUL CHANGE PROGRAMMES INCLUDE:

CREATING STRATEGIC ALIGNMENTWe work with leadership teams to create clear strategies and a shared sense of direction throughout the organisation.

A PERSONAL SERVICE

BRATHAYOUR APPROACH

EMERGING TALENTOur work with Emerging Talent is long established and we are recognised as a market leader. We help you to nurture talent at all levels within your organisation; apprentices, graduates and high-potential employees. We support you to develop your talent into well-rounded future leaders.

Investing in the individuals you want to carry your business forward is essential; you want them to understand your goals, have the confidence to make decisions, and crucially, to choose to stay with your organisation for the long-term.

Emerging talent programmes are run at Brathay Hall and other inspiring venues using immersive experiences to develop real-world business skills. This includes giving and receiving feedback; understanding team dynamics and presenting ideas as well as challenging them. We support this with expert facilitation, clarity on outcomes prior to an event, and links to workplace projects.

We make a difference in working with you and your organisation to understand the role of your talent; then designing programmes that deliver tangible benefits.

APPRENTICESWe deliver programmes designed to continually improve apprentice performance, reinforcing expectations about the world of work, and building team skills through group activities in a challenging learning environment.

GRADUATES AND POSTGRADUATESFor graduates we conduct leadership programmes that broaden their experience giving them the chance to experiment with leadership styles and receive quality feedback. Our work with postgraduates, including MBA students from major business schools, accelerates effectiveness at working in groups; a predictor of success in future careers.

HIGH POTENTIALSWe have an excellent track record creating personal and leadership elements at a number of leading organisations for high potential management schemes, designed for individuals identified for senior positions.
