Assess + Boost = Engaged+
The E-ffect Program focuses on creating engaged, inspired, and successful teams. We start with an initial engagement score, E-Score. Then we deliver action-based programs to boost the scores. Finally, we do a post E-Score to measure tangible results and see the effect.
Feel inspired. Have fun. Learn and connect with others.
Our Manifesto
Be Bold. Be Kind. Show Up. Bring Your Best.
Reward. Rejuvenate. ROI.
An 8-week, action-based program that rewards and rejuvenates managers and delivers:
Increased Engagement
We measure engagement across a number of categories and help to boost your scores in those areas. Increase your E-Score for better engagement and well-being.
Management Toolkit
Each session introduces easy-to-use tools to help make your life easier.
Solve A Business Challenge
Put your tools into practice by working on solving a real-life business challenge that you are currently facing.

Less Stress. More Joy.
We’re here for you. The focus is on ways to reduce stress and create more joy at work.
Community & Accountability
There is real power in having a community dedicated to you for support, accountability, and to share learnings and laughs!
A Gift Not a Chore
This isn’t about adding more to your plate. It was created to fit into a busy life to quickly see the value. It is something to look forward to – not about piling on homework.
