The Event Business: Unlocking Potential for Growth

The Problem

The TEB leadership team had recently completed a Management Buy Out from the original founders of the business. As a close-knit and fast-paced business, the leadership team faced challenges in maintaining a bird’s-eye view of HR issues, employee development and progression. The intensity and pace of work made it difficult to step back and address these aspects effectively.

What We Did

T4P provided ongoing support and guidance to the leadership team in managing HR and learning and development across the organisation. Key initiatives included:

• Developing TEB’s appraisal process
• Quarterly whole company sessions, allowing the whole team to pause, gain new insights, and apply them to their daily operations
• Supporting individual learning, development and progression plans for each employee.
• Training and coaching the next generation of managers

The Result

T4P’s support yielded significant benefits for TEB:

Unlocking potential: T4P’s impartial approach unlocked the potential of both employees and company directors, facilitating open communication, effective problem solving and significant growth.

Improved management skills: Managers demonstrated more consistent and effective communication, feedback and performance management.

Employee engagement: The team appreciated the investment in their personal growth and development, fostering a sense of wellbeing and being valued.

Retention and cost savings: Improved management and investment in individual development resulted in lower employee turnover and a reduction of the substantial costs associated with recruitment.

Objective insights: T4P’s external perspective provided valuable insights into employee dynamics, enabling leaders to better understand, manage, inspire and develop their people.

Overall, T4P’s support and guidance enabled TEB leaders to prioritise HR and personal development, fostering a positive and engaging work environment while reducing employee turnover and improving people performance. This has resulted in significant and sustainable growth.

“David has helped us build the foundation for our HR and personal development processes. Without him, we would miss potential issues until they become major problems.”

“David’s insight is crucial for our close-knit business. His quarterly group sessions give us the chance to step back, reflect, and address everything effectively. They often mention they’ve never experienced anything like this in previous jobs.”

“With David on board, we’ve seen a positive impact on our team’s engagement and development. His quarterly sessions provide essential insights that benefit both the staff and the organisation.”
