2023 has been an incredible journey for PeopleUnboxed.

And we’re excited to share the numerous ways we’ve made a positive impact on individuals and organisations alike through our dynamic leadership and organisational culture programmes.

We also celebrated our 5^th birthday which was a wonderful milestone for the team, and brought back some memories from when Jo and I started the company back in 2018.

Buckle up for a ride through the highlights of our transformative year….

1. Elevating Leadership: Manager Essentials

Our Manager Essentials programme took centre stage by earning its stripes as a CPD accredited course. This recognition adds another layer of credibility to our commitment to providing top-notch leadership development.

For years, we’ve been at the forefront of delivering impactful organisational courses, collaborating with renowned clients like Dr. Martens. However, in 2023, we took a bold step by introducing it as a virtual open programme. This initiative was designed especially for smaller organisations that might not have enough team members to fill an entire course. It’s also a perfect fit for individuals keen on upskilling or building their confidence in leadership.

As we continue to blend cutting-edge research with practical insights, our Manager Essentials programme remains a beacon for empowering leaders. We’ve not only equipped managers to confidently navigate the dynamic workplace landscape but have also fostered team collaboration that drives exceptional results.

With CPD accreditation in hand, we’re not just offering a course; we’re providing a validated and recognised pathway for leaders to elevate themselves and their teams. Join us on this journey of empowerment, whether you’re part of a large organisation or an individual ready to step into leadership with confidence.

227 people trained across 25 organisational courses, for companies such as: KP Snacks, Dr. Martens and Entain.

15 people trained across 2 open programmes, for companies such as: Lacoste, Ben’s Cookies and Lister Wilder.

2. Training the Trainers: Cultivating a Learning Ecosystem.

Our Train the Trainer sessions have truly been a game-changer, transforming the way knowledge spreads within organisations. We firmly believe in the power of a ripple effect, and by conducting these sessions, we’ve magnified the impact of our programmes.

Having worked with industry giants such as Tesco, KP Snacks, and Entain, our expertise in cultivating learning ecosystems is well-established. But it’s not just about the big names; it’s about tailoring our approach to organisations of all sizes, ensuring that the learning culture filters into every corner.

We understand that the key to sustained growth lies in empowering your internal trainers. They become the catalysts of knowledge, carrying the essence of our programmes long after our sessions conclude. It’s not just about what we teach during our sessions; it’s about instilling the confidence and capability within your team to continue the learning journey independently.

Curious to see the impact first-hand? Check out our LinkedIn review from Tesco here. It’s a testament to the transformative nature of our Train the Trainer sessions. Join us in cultivating a learning ecosystem that not only meets the needs of today but also evolves with the challenges of tomorrow.

107 people trained across 6 programmes, for companies such as: KP Snacks, SIDES and Tesco.

3. Nurturing Organisational Culture: Beyond Buzzwords.

For us, organisational culture isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the very heartbeat of our mission. Our commitment goes beyond rhetoric, with a holistic approach to people strategy that delves deep into fostering a culture of psychological safety and bringing company values to life.

We understand that a thriving culture encompasses mental health, wellbeing, diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. These aren’t just standalone concepts; they are the building blocks that create an environment where your people not only survive but truly thrive. We’ve witnessed the magic that happens when individuals can bring their authentic selves to work, contributing to a culture that’s as unique as your organisation.

But our dedication doesn’t stop there. We’ve actively taken steps to manifest these values into tangible initiatives. Two of our proudest achievements this year include the launch of two EDI eLearning modules, with more on the horizon. In 2024, brace yourselves for the unveiling of our Neurodiversity eLearning, promising to be a ground-breaking addition to our repertoire.

Internally, we’ve completed comprehensive training sessions on accessibility, unconscious bias, and cultural intelligence – we’ve not only practiced what we preach but have also equipped our own team with the tools to foster an inclusive and supportive work environment.

713 people trained in Mental Health and 154 accredited as Mental Health First Aiders.

267 learners trained in EDI courses.

446 people benefited from the 23 team days facilitated.

4. BentoBot: The Learning Revolution.

We launched BentoBot, our trusty digital companion in the exhilarating journey of continuous learning! This app is no ordinary tool; it’s a powerhouse, completely revolutionising the learning experience with bite-sized, multi-modal content that caters to every learner’s unique style.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. Powered by AI, BentoBot is more than just a learning platform; it’s your personal guide in the pursuit of knowledge. By intelligently targeting individual knowledge gaps, it transforms learning into a personalised and engaging adventure, ensuring that every user gets exactly what they need to flourish.

And here’s an exciting snippet from the success stories – SIDES is one of the companies that have embraced BentoBot, leveraging it to onboard new staff during store launches, plus training them on modules from food quality to customer service. It’s a testament to the app’s versatility and effectiveness in real-world scenarios. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. BentoBot boasts a diverse array of off-the-shelf courses too, each crafted to meet specific learning needs.
