Talos360

People Challenges

Due to a period of sustained growth, and with an anticipated headcount increase of 25%, the challenge for Talos360 was to retain its cultural uniqueness and levels of engagement.

The company was experiencing rapid growth having moved away from a founder-based business to one led by a CEO, with a significant change in management structure.

In addition to this huge amount of internal change, post-Covid flexible and hybrid working schedules also had the potential to undermine the unity and culture of the business.

Results

Undertaking an initial detailed survey with our employee engagement software, Talos Engage, Lyndsay was able to determine how our people felt about every aspect of the business. From understanding the effects of management change, to the direction the company was heading, and their development, wellbeing, rewards, and career progression, these insights helped gauge authentic people opinion.

"Insights from Talos Engage have been pivotal to our success over the last 12 months"

This initial survey received 100% completion and proved to be the perfect base on which Lyndsay could then build out a nationally recognised EVP and company culture.  

Because the platform's flexibility allows for detailed analysis and easy reporting, Lyndsay could use Talos Engage to take a workforce survey in key areas, including values, leadership, role, rewards, development, wellbeing and communication.

Having collated the feedback, Lyndsay and leadership designed a follow-up survey to determine which changes and workplace benefits people most wanted.

Invited to rate the proposed benefits and wellbeing and engagement proposals out of 100, the second stakeholder analysis provided Lyndsay with the benefits analysis she needed to help focus her internal people budget on the employee benefits that would best support employee engagement and motivation.

Implementation of this benefits review impacted an unprecedented number of external acknowledgements and awards for the employee engagement levels at Talos360.

These included 15th best UK workplace for women, 5^th best UK Workplace in Tech and 9^th best UK Workplace in the medium sized business category. Talos360 also won the prestigious "Best Talent Tech Company to Work for" in the Tiara awards and were finalists in the "Great Place to Work" category in the Engage Awards.
