Unlocking early career potential and reducing costly turnover.
The Human Factor is a practical and personal journey designed for new hires, graduates and early career professionals. It equips them with the confidence, awareness and human skills needed to thrive in a modern workplace.
Participants learn how to contribute meaningfully from day one. Organisations gain stronger engagement, faster onboarding and a leadership pipeline that starts earlier and grows stronger.
Why This Matters
Graduates and early career hires arrive full of potential but often struggle to find their place.
They enter the workplace with fresh thinking and strong ambition but little clarity on what success looks like.
This leads to long onboarding, poor communication and early exits.
And it costs more than money. It erodes team morale and slows down momentum.
The Human Factor bridges the gap between promise and performance.
It offers structure, support and accountability so your early career talent can engage, grow and stay.
What is it
The Human Factor is a structured workplace success journey for new employees. It blends digital learning, short facilitated sessions and peer coaching. It covers the human skills that matter most in the early career stage.
This is not a training event. It is an integrated development experience that supports participants through their first real steps into the working world.
Who it’s for
The Human Factor is ideal for:
Graduates
Early career professionals
Apprentices and interns
New hires entering their first full-time role
It works well for organisations with high entry-level hiring, graduate programmes or high turnover in early roles.
