We believe people want to work where they love to be and feel they belong. We want to help shape that world.
Sustainable change can only be delivered through leadership putting the health of people first. Illuminate partners with organisations driven by social purpose. We discover, design and deliver strategy and people development programmes. Teams and individuals flourish. And organisations succeed..
We know that where people can be their whole selves and where diversity is embraced people thrive. Research tell us that organisations who invest in and support their people’s wellbeing though change will have greater engagement and be more productive.
We believe that within every person there is the potential to achieve their own mental and physical wellbeing. We appreciate not everyone can achieve a state of good mental health, all of the time – we’re all on a mental health continuum from day to day.
OUR VALUES
Our beliefs are underpinned by our values which guide us in our approach:
Integrity
Being trustworthy, authentic and honest are the cornerstones of who we are and what we’re about.
Inclusion
Being fair in ways that draw in and include difference, positive regard for each other and those we work with.
Compassion
We strive to act with kindness and consideration.
Wellness
We work with the whole person, including physical, mental, social and emotional health and wellbeing.
Giving Back
We support our communities through volunteering
