Mental health is a growing area of concern to us. We will take steps to ensure the mental health and well being of our clients and participants on our programmes is at the centre of what we do, and take steps immediately to offer support and start the process of finding solutions to address needs that surface during our programmes.

We strive to create safe spaces for people to develop and grow, and fostering an environment of openness, trust and support is at the core of what we do.

Work / Life Balance

talentshift hr respects the need for a healthy work / life balance. Our programmes are designed to be flexible and adjust to our clients preferred working patterns. For effectiveness reasons, we avoid programmes delivered over continuous long periods of time.

We build in regular breaks. We flex to the needs of groups around start and finish times. If people have caring needs, we will flex programmes where possible to accommodate these needs.

Our programmes are always compliant with UK Working Time Regulations without the need to “Opt Out” of these regulations.
