External evaluation showed the majority of participants felt a high level of empowerment and positivity as a result of the programme and every person who attended said they would recommend the course to a colleague.

‘Positively Empowered People opened my eyes. I’ve had so much fun in their sessions with all the great props.’

‘I was a little bit dismissive of wellbeing in construction. Jackie and Claire made it lots of fun as a workshop to explore ideas. I will be quick to recommend to my colleagues.’
Ian, Site Manager at Balfour Beatty
'All the attendees, from staff and subcontractors, really enjoyed the training. I personally took a lot from it helping me understand how different people cope and express things in different ways. The sessions were short and punchy and targeted to get you to take one key piece of information from each, always with a neat practical element to help you to remember.
It was great to partner with a local social enterprise as it helps the business and site meet our social value targets. I’ll definitely be rolling it out on other sites as everyone I spoke to afterwards enjoyed it, it brought us together as a team even more, and was a refreshing change from the usual training we receive.’
