About us
Of course there are other companies who do what we do, so what is it about us that makes us right for you?
Who we work with
We work with clients across a wide range of sectors and in organisations of all different sizes. Some of are clients employ thousands of people, some are small companies with less than 100 people.
Over the last 20 years we have worked with more than 80 different organisations which gives us a breadth of knowledge about different businesses, sectors and cultures.
We also support independent consultants who need to deliver an employee experience survey or 360 degree feedback for their own clients.
Why our clients choose to work with us
Some of our clients have never run a survey before so they really appreciate the time we take when it comes to the survey design, admin and reporting.
Some of our clients come to us as they need a more flexible, personalised service than they have experienced before.
Some of our clients have tried to go it alone using a tool such as SurveyMonkey and recognised that it is much more time consuming to run the survey and then manually do all of the data analysis and reporting themselves.
Why our clients value working with us
All of our clients have limited time, resource and budget.
They don’t want to overcomplicate it.
They want to be able to easily understand the output so they can make a difference to their organisation.
Above all, they are looking for a partner to provide advice and guidance, and just make it happen for them.
How we work with you
It’s not just what we know or can do, but how we do it that makes the difference
We are highly client-focussed
We pride ourselves on providing an extremely high level of service.
We act as your business partner when it comes to everything to do with culture and employee engagement and our aim is to form long-term relationships built on trust and helping you make a difference.
We are highly responsive - you’ll be amazed how quickly we respond to you and turn things around.
We also know that things change so we’ll adapt to your changing priorities.
Ours is a best of both worlds solution
Our approach is based on providing a combination of expert design by real humans, managed admin with self-service analytics.
We know that you’re mega busy. We also know that there is lots involved in designing and deploying an effective solution so we will support you with our expertise and save you time by managing the whole process for you.
You might feel you want the freedom that a self-serve solution offers, but our responsiveness means that we can get something live for you as quickly as doing it yourself. Why do the work yourself when we can do it for you?
We tailor everything we do
Whilst we can easily provide you with an off-the-shelf solution, we believe the best solution is bespoke to your business to ensure that you get exactly what you need and it supports your values, culture and strategy..
Whilst AI can be useful for suggesting questions, our 20+ years of OD experience means we can do a much better job of understanding the nuances of your culture and values.
Above all we take the time to listen to what you want to achieve, to understand your values and culture ensuring that we deliver what you need.
We endeavour to deliver ‘best value’
We genuinely believe in making a difference to your organisation.
Being fair and doing the right thing guides how we work. We don’t charge by the hour, clock-watch or charge you for all those ‘could you justs….’.
We make it robust, but straightforward
We use our experience to keep it simple and provide focus. For us, it’s not about statistics, it’s about clarity, focus and action.
We have a pragmatic approach meaning we keep it simple, focusing on what works in practice.
We make it happen for you
We are highly conscientious so you can rely on us to work hard to get it done.
We’ll guide you through the key decisions that need to be made and what we need from you, but you can rely on us to manage the project and get on with doing the set up work for you.
We’ll check the detail and always do what we say we will.
Don't just take our word for it...
We have been working with Realworld for the last 3 years. They bring such a collaborative approach which makes it so easy for us to shape our colleague survey in a way that works for us as a business and provides us some amazing people data that helps us to focus in on the areas that we need to get better at or improve. They are very customer focused and always respond to questions or queries we have in such a timely manner. I feel like we have a really trusted relationship that helps us be honest as a business and to develop our culture in a way that is conducive to us. I also love the Realworld platform that helps us analyse our data, at the click of a button. I can remind myself of key areas that we need to improve in our survey, and the data is so clean and reliable that it builds trust with other stakeholders as well. Realworld are also really open to tweaks and changes to continuously improve our processes to add value. As a business we feel that Realworld are really helping us to improve our employee culture year on year so are really adding significant value to our business.

The team at Realworld’s help and insights in setting up the survey and the questions to ask were invaluable. Their ongoing support to ensure the survey continues to ask the right questions, as well as establishing consistent benchmarks has help develop the survey has enable us to identify areas for improvement and support our aim to create a more positive work environment for all. The level of support we have received, from the initial set up of the first survey and every year since has been exceptional. We have seen tangible improvements in engagement and retention as a result. We highly recommend Realworld to any organisation looking to enhance their employee experience.
