Before C-me

Life at ForrestBrown is defined by a distinctive culture that the company takes immense pride in. The environment is dynamic and fast-paced, fueling rapid growth. ForrestBrown assembles teams quickly, with high expectations set from day one. Despite doubling in size in just two years, they were unwavering in their commitment to uphold their values, pursuit of excellence, and dedication to client service. Recognising the need to unlock their employees' potential and support their rapid development both personally and professionally, ForrestBrown's leadership team sought ways to complement their internal support networks with an external perspective and training. C-me was selected to aid in this endeavor.

Results after working with C-me

C-me was chosen for its ability to simplify a potentially complex topic, providing in-depth, quality information without creating an administrative burden. Several members of ForrestBrown's People Team became accredited in C-me, enabling them to implement the solution across various areas of the business, including recruitment, onboarding, and development. C-me has become a fundamental tool introduced to employees on their first day and remains with them throughout their career journey. Upon starting, individuals receive a personalised report session, followed by a Foundation Workshop within their first three months. The initial introduction to C-me culminates in a team effectiveness session, facilitating the integration of new starters into the ForrestBrown culture. The C-me workshop material has enhanced employees' ability to provide feedback, delegate tasks, deliver impactful presentations, and foster authentic leadership among emerging leaders. Aligning with the principles and language of C-me in wider people development initiatives ensures continuity and reinforces its importance across the organisation.

Whilst our staff benefit from C-me at an individual level, ForrestBrown as a company has seen record levels of engagement and advocacy within our new-starter cohorts, and low levels of staff turnover.
