In 2026, people will not just be part of your strategy. They will drive it.
Organisations that thrive will be those that invest in leadership, trust, communication and empowerment, not just technology or processes. The We invest in People accreditation gives you a framework to embed people-centred practices into how your organisation works every day.

It is not a badge.
It is a commitment to measurable improvement in how you lead, support and involve your people, the very factors that strengthen performance, resilience and competitive edge.

If you want to build stronger leadership at every level, clearer alignment between people and purpose, and a culture of trust and continuous improvement, making people the core of your 2026 strategy starts with We invest in People.

If you missed Sara Davies at the Make Work Better Conference 2025… you need to hear this.
In her session, Sara shared a raw and powerful story about leadership, culture, and what happens when you hand your “business baby” to the wrong person.

“I hired someone really expensive who’d been there and done that before… and I watched him run my baby.
And I remember thinking, oh… we don’t do stuff like that.
He ran the business on spreadsheets - people were a number.
That’s never how I’d manage the business.
I sucked that up for two years… all the while watching the heart be sucked out of the business.”

This moment had the entire room silent.
Because so many leaders have been there - choosing experience over values, only to realise culture is the real superpower.

Leaders are navigating relentless change from AI disruption to economic uncertainty, yet 79% of employees say they have low trust in organisational change. So why does so much transformation still stall?

Our latest blog explores a critical shift: moving from helping people recover after disruption to preparing organisations to thrive before it hits.

You’ll discover
• Why constant change is exhausting even the most resilient teams
• How readiness turns uncertainty into momentum
• What leaders can do to build trust, involvement and confidence at scale
• Why organisations that routinise change outperform those that react to it
The organisations thriving today aren’t managing change as a crisis. They are building it as a capability.

82% of new managers receive no formal training. And we wonder why performance, wellbeing, and retention suffer. When we leave leadership to chance, we create inconsistency, not capability.

As Gaynor Rogers, Director for People Development at Qualitrain Ltd puts it
“We don’t wait for leaders to emerge - we grow them.”

Our latest article explores why management without training is management without impact, and what organisations must do to fix it.
