The Challenge

Five departments, one broken approach

Energage helps other companies build great workplace cultures, so the bar for their own employee experience was impossibly high. But behind the mission-driven brand, the reality was more complicated. With teams spanning Customer Service, Software Engineering, HR, Finance, and Sales, each department had distinct development needs that no single training program could address. Engineers wanted technical leadership skills. Sales reps needed help navigating difficult client conversations. Managers across the board were struggling to set actionable career goals with their reports.

The pressure was compounding. High performers were leaving because they did not see a growth path. Mid-level employees felt stuck. And HR was fielding requests for professional development that could not be solved with another all-hands webinar. Energage needed a solution flexible enough to serve every level and department, while reinforcing the culture-first values they sold to their own customers.

Leadership insight
"Our people finally have a growth partner, not just a growth plan."

What surprised me most was how coaching connected the dots between personal well-being and professional performance. Employees were not just more productive. They were more present, more collaborative, and more invested in our mission.
