‘I must say that the training has truly been a game changer. I felt that a group of very good people became a real team…..Engagement significantly went up, we had our yearly survey and the team engagement is much higher than last year, much higher than the company average and much higher that the retail industry average! Needless to add that the team is on the way to deliver a record fiscal year.’ (client who used the new CultureActive 360 tool..)
