Welcome to équilibre

Re-thinking the culture of organisations

Equilibre is a resource for individual and organisational development

A Sea Change

At équilibre we sense a sea change in people’s attitudes to large organisations, particularly big business. Consumers, employees and shareholders increasingly demand ethical, ecological and human-scale attitudes. Global business is increasingly being blamed for many of the planet’s ills. We believe that more companies now want to make the shift towards more socially responsible entities that are an integral part of the lives of the people associated with them, be they workers, clients, shareholders, suppliers or neighbours.

21st Century Organisations

We see ourselves as part of a revolution in how work is organised – what it means for us as human beings. Our task is to help public and private enterprises to become 21st century organisations, ones that engage the minds and the emotions of the people working within them.

People-focused

équilibre exists to:

help individuals and companies to enjoy and learn from their work.

enter partnerships with organisations wanting to develop through learning and change, in an ethical and humanistic way, one that places people at the heart of business and organisational life.

help organisations identify appropriate strategies for performance and quality improvement, based on our skills and understandings in promoting learning, change and quality development.

help client company employees to develop the personal skills needed to introduce sustainable learning and change, and people based quality systems; by working with whole organisations, departments, teams and individuals.

act as a role model, continually seeking to develop and use working practices appropriate to its mission: 'walking its talk'.

We are here to make a positive and practical contribution to the effectiveness of other organisations, through our work with their people. Our people focus is heartfelt, and we make contact with people in the belief that we are beginning a relationship with a potential new friend.

We see clear links between the work we do and concerns about sustainability and permaculture; ethics and globalisation; fair trade and lifelong learning etc. We see much potential in this to create something new and exciting, and really important.
