Is your organisation experiencing any of the following?

  • Navigating a significant change curve

  • High levels of burnout or turnover

  • Low engagement or morale

  • Emotional fatigue in frontline roles

  • A sense of isolation in hybrid or remote teams

Introducing Pods.

Pods are where group coaching meets culture transformation.

They’re a high-impact intervention that fosters psychological safety, resilience, and connection.

Pods are facilitated spaces where small groups of colleagues slow down and connect. In just one hour per fortnight, they build emotional resilience, reduce burnout, and increase engagement—without adding pressure or performance targets. Pods create the kind of relational safety that makes everything else work better

Improving Retention

Pods build connections that encourage teams to stick around, even when the road gets bumpy. 

In one organisation, retention among Pod participants was around a third higher compared to non-participants.

While we can’t claim direct causation, the correlation is strong and reflected in participant feedback:

  • 100% said Pods helped them do their job sustainably

  • 100% would recommend joining a Pod to a new colleague

Developing Leaders

Pods nurture skillsets that turn high performers into effective leaders.

In one organisation, 6 out of 7 people (85%) promoted internally into manager roles over a year were Pod participants. Feeling the benefits of regular immersion in a facilitated, psychologically safe space, arms future leaders with the mindset and methodology to take this approach forward into the teams they go on to lead.

Increasing Engagement

Pods drive deeper engagement by fostering authentic connection and trust among teams. They give employees space to be seen, heard, and supported by peers.

The deep collaboration this encourages helps to evolve workplace interactions from transactional conversations into experiences that make people feel that they belong. 

100% of participants said they felt supported and connected to their fellow Pod members.

Testimonials

  • It is hard to quantify the impact of Pods on my life and role, however I am extremely doubtful that I would be in the same place without them.

    Maya, Operations Lead

  • Pod creates a safe space for case workers to offload and unwind. It is a vital space that provides respite, camaraderie, reassurance and a place to be open and transparent about both challenges and successes. In my most challenging and unsettling times, pod always provided a constant calm space that I could use to reset and recharge, in turn meaning I could give my best self to my work and specifically the people I was supporting. Feeling heard and knowing I was not alone in my struggles with the pressures of casework was essential for not only my job satisfaction but also my health. I cannot recommend it enough.

    Alex, Operations Lead

  • The connections I’ve built with my fellow pod members remind me of the collective purpose we share. These relationships foster trust, empathy, and a sense of belonging, all of which are critical for my growth and wellbeing—both professionally and personally. Working as a remote employee can often feel lonely. Not due to the company itself or its values - but because we take on so much emotional weight from the relative isolation of our own homes, that oftentimes decompression and emotional openness can be difficult. The pods offer a space where this experience can be reflected upon - which leads to me feeling less alone and more empowered. 

    Stuart, Support Worker

  • For me, the Pod is both a part of my work and apart from it—an essential space for personal reflection and processing. It offers a rare opportunity to step back, slow down, and engage in open, unstructured sharing and listening within a defined group of people who share similar experiences but bring their own unique perspectives. It provides a necessary punctuation in the rhythm of work—sometimes challenging, sometimes arresting, but always offering a quiet confrontation with reality in a way that feels safe and constructive. An important dynamic of the Pod is that it helps diffuse the background tension that can build over time, offering a sense of respite and relief. This all, in turn, contributes to doing my job sustainably.

    Sam, Senior Support Worker

  • As a support worker, the existence of Pods are one of the biggest differences I have experienced compared to working at other organisations. Pods are the one place where I can truly and authentically share how I feel. I don’t think this role would be sustainable for me without them.

    Charlotte, Support Worker

  • The work we do as caseworkers is very intense, as everyone knows. So, having a kind workplace coach present in this Pod space, genuinely checking in on how you're feeling mentally in those fortnightly meetings, encouraging you to relax, reflect, and de-stress a little, even while exchanging difficult member stories among teammates, makes a world of difference to why I believe my mental health has remained very healthy. Even though our work is on the "front lines," I feel supported enough to actually enjoy doing it, knowing that there's a space to shed the load a little. The Pod is a very valuable space to me.

    Ema, Senior Support Worker

  • I have been absolutely amazed by the positive impact Pods have had on both my professional and personal well-being and development. I can honestly say that the pods have played a crucial role in my ability to continue in this job for over a year, and they give me hope that I can sustain this important work for even longer. I feel very grateful to work for a company that offers sessions reflecting their genuine commitment to investing in our emotional support and well-being.

    Aicha, Senior Caseworker

  • Working as a support worker can sometimes be really, really hard. Having a space like pod is vital to success in casework. It has allowed me (and many other support workers I'm sure) to maintain the resilience and compassion needed to excel in this role.

    Lauren, Operations Lead
