Our Mission

We know that diverse employees bring a wide range of skills, experiences, and perspectives to the workplace.  Engaging, motivating and retaining these groups ultimately leads to increased organisational creativity, innovation, and decision making. This agenda is central to building a globally competitive economy and world- leading businesses.

What we do

We offer organisations a suite of world-class tools, products and processes that support individual career success and build the career infrastructure that drives it.   This makes us different. We are not just a coaching company.

And if you are not sure what products work for your organisation, don’t worry – our Organisational Career Diagnostic is a data-driven, analytical approach to understand where you are now in terms of your career development offerings and provides practical recommendations on where to target your career development initiatives and investment.

Is your organisation best-in-class?

Take our quick quiz to find out.

How mature is your organisation in driving career success? The best organisations attract talent by offering long-term, fulfilling careers (not just jobs!). But many organisations aren’t able to follow through on the lofty promises they make when they are recruiting. At The Careers Company we know what great organisations need to do to help create career success and happiness for their employees.

Women in Leadership Participant - Lead Women,
"Line Managers reflect on this and equip us with tools and tips on how to do this better. A line manager has a long list of key responsibilities, but one of the most important one is having meaningful 1v1s, how do you as a manager balance listening with holding your direct reports accountable for delivery against their goals? How do you balance coaching with directing? These were some of the things Claudia trained us on. The sessions were insightful, tailored to our company and managers' needs, and we left with tips and tools we could immediately apply."
Britt Burnett – COO at Jaza Energy,
"We had a fragmented approach to careers support across the college.  This made it difficult to demonstrate progress against the Gatsby benchmarks and to amplify areas of good practice.  The Careers Company team supported us in creating a holistic career strategy.  They started with data, interviewing over 20 stakeholders to ensure all voices were heard.  They then brought different teams across the college together to develop framework for our new strategy.  Finally, they partnered with the strategy implementation team so they felt supported.  We are almost 18 months on now and have a “Good” OFSTED rating under our belts. Thank you to Meena and the team."
Sharon Cousins, Vice Principal, Newham College,
"Meena is an extremely effective and inspiring coach. She has displayed her strong expertise in talent development via a coaching relationship I had with her. Meena was able to provide assistance and guidance that truly fit my individual needs. She also had a lot of empathy and was able to guide me through a crucial self-reflection process by helping me to discover the answers that are right for me. It has been a privilege to work with her."
