The research comes from our Gi Group sister company INTOO.

We hear these words every day in our coaching conversations.

This research from our Gi Group sister company INTOO captured the voices of 1,000 employees across the UK and Ireland.

If you’re in HR or leading a team, these are the conversations happening around you — whether you’re hearing them or not.
