Anything that reduces absenteeism and transforms employee engagement in the NHS is a must right now.
Packtypes is completely unparalleled in increasing self awareness rapidly with different audiences and anything that reduces absenteeism and transforms employee engagement in the NHS is a must right now.
Previously I had utilised psychometric tools like MBTI and OPQ for profiling purposes and in comparison I found Packtypes much quicker, more fun, and easier to interpret and apply.
Packtypes is so flexible and easily applied in recruitment, team building, conflict management and leadership development. We are embedding Packtypes within our people systems and processes and will be using it to develop the Trust’s behavioural framework which will be integrated into the whole Personal Development Review and talent management process.

When I was first introduced to Packtypes I was intrigued.
As soon as I started playing it immediately became clear just how much Packtypes can help both individuals and teams in any work place. I have since used it with friends as well and know exactly what it can achieve.
Jessy Ferguson, House Manager at The Brand Exchange
My business is a pioneer in both technology and customer service and Packtypes is a brilliant way of delivering the behaviours needed to achieve outstanding performance.
Packtypes’ genius is helping all our staff, from our technicians to our call centre teams, recognise their own strengths as individuals and then play to them as part of a total team.
I can’t afford to take people off the shop floor for expensive training days, so the ease of implementation and rapid return on investment are the ideal way for us to achieve more with less whilst continuously driving up customer service.
Chris Eldridge, CEO, Autorestore
Packtypes is an extraordinary tool.
Its accuracy is uncanny and the immediacy of its insights even more so. The intricacies and pitfalls of team building can now all be seen as opportunities
David Meliveo, Head of Consumer Marketing & Promotions, Royal London
I have spent a lifetime thinking about human insight and motivation. My job in building client brands depends on it.
Packtypes is the most brilliant and accessible tool to build better human interactions across the board; from within my own team; with client teams or building better creative briefs. Nothing has had such an immediate and profound impact on how we do what we do.

Packtypes was introduced to Durham Constabulary back in 2011 and received an instant positive reaction. It is such a quick, versatile and cost effective way to increase self awareness, that not only has it increased performance, it’s also boosted energy levels!
Packtypes plays a huge part in enhancing our culture. Life around Durham Constabulary feels significantly different. We’ve reduced sickness and are enjoying higher levels of victim satisfaction, public confidence and public engagement and crime levels are lower than ever.
Communication with members of the public has also improved and by providing Packtypes Cards to partners, we have greatly improved relationships with some of our hardest to reach groups.
There is no better feeling than when someone ‘completely gets you’ using Packtypes; you feel properly understood. The look on a colleague’s face whilst being profiled is priceless, people feel totally inspired, yet are still curious to learn more about themselves; it’s outstanding.
Playing Packtypes has led to conversations that wouldn’t ordinarily happen. Officers and other staff are happier to express their feelings openly and talk about tensions and issues. As an organisation we are more motivated, have a greater sense of purpose. We are also more open to feedback at all levels and curious and willing to learn from the way other people perceive us. The overall effect is a huge boost to Force confidence.
DS Hannah Bell, Leadership and Business Change Manager, Durham Constabulary
We are in the process of transforming our UK agencies. Having reshaped our structure & operating model, we thought it would be a great opportunity to empower & engage our people using Packtypes.
We are finding out a lot about ourselves and each other through play which often ends in quite deep and significant discussion. We are embarking on a number of activities both internally within our company and also with our clients which use Packtypes in many different ways to help us to gain insight and plan next steps for our UK businesses.
We are very pleased to have bumped into Will at the NEC last year and to have him involved in our journey.

Like many retailers today, Asda has had to respond to changing market conditions by reinventing itself. To help them transform the way people think, relate to each other and respond to new challenges, Asda chose to adopt our Packtypes ‘Typicons’ model and we created the unique ‘Asda Family’ especially for them.
Sparky, Hotshot and co have found a special place in the heart of Asda colleagues and the whole Asda Family concept has taken Asda by storm. Personal growth and team development have gone from being a chore or a task to something people embrace and are passionate about. 25,000 colleagues have already been equipped with their own Packtypes Cards and Materials and Packtypes is now being integrated into every aspect of how Asda develop and manage their people.
