What we Do

Seeking Answers, Delivering Improvements

We all understand the negative impact that stress can have on our personal lives, but did you know it can be equally damaging to organisational performance?

If left unchecked, stress can lead to poor productivity, widespread absenteeism, high workforce turnover, increased employee complaints and, of course, low morale. Put simply, it’s a barrier to success at every level.

That’s why Thrive & Shine joined forces with Keele University to develop BESSIE – the only tool grounded in clinical and academic research that automatically measures stress across your organisation and beyond.

About Us

Built on nearly 30 years experience in mental health and wellbeing, behaviour change and transformation, we have bought all of that experience into one place, to benefit businesses and their employees.

Having worked across a broad range of industries, from Social Care, to Engineering, to Pharmaceutical Organisations, Construction, Finance, IT, Marketing and the NHS, we have been lucky enough to have played a vital part in the lives, the healing and the recovery of many humans. We don’t deliver training, we deliver outcomes. This is the most important aspect of our work and is where our focus remains.

Recognising that we are in a competitive industry, we decided to rewrite the rules. We don’t want to regurgitate blanket solutions for mental health. They’re already not working. Instead we decided to take a deeper look at what is failing in our workforce and communities that typically make good mental health hard to achieve and how this manifests into our employees and the work they do. Mental Health is the one area that the human race is losing the battle when it comes to innovation, most believing that maybe a new app will help. The result is increased suffering.

We believe that your Wellbeing Strategy should be much more than a series of policies, procedures and trainings. Your Wellbeing strategy should create and support a culture of Wellbeing, so that you, your leadership team and your workforce can do what you came here to do.

Optimise management, inspire the workforce and connect the two through wellbeing, innovation, creativity and clear thinking.
