A word from the BBC

We have used C-me for a number of years now. Our first C-me experience was when I became a team leader and took on several new members of staff. It really helped improve communication in the team as it gave newer members an insight into the more long-standing members. When my team was expanded C-me has been a great way to give people who had never met in person a structured way of getting to know each other, with a shared common language to describe people's differences and individual strengths.

Emma Theedon, BBC, Head of Audiences.
