Description
Developing Engaging Leaders through our innovative mini TV-drama 'In Good Company'
This online programme uses our ten-episode mini TV-drama series called 'In Good Company', written by a BAFTA nominated screenwriter and follows the story of a fictitious company, Emerson Software Solutions. The characters might be fictional, but the science is real. Using real life scenarios, we will take you on a journey of personal development. Through observation and insights following the team dynamics at Emerson Software Solutions, we see the pitfalls and problems that can impede performance, and show how engaged leaders can impact upon their own performance, their teams’ performance and ultimately, amazing customer service.
We’ve enlisted eminent experts in the field of behavioural psychology to comment on the action, and underpin the drama with neuroscience and psychology. Each episode adds more to the developing story and includes a mix of office drama and professional commentary.
The programme focuses on the following areas:
Me at My Best – improving your own performance by focusing on your own needs, health and wellbeing to minimise stress at work
My Team at Their Best – deepening relationships with our teams to create inclusive and trusting environments
The Best Customer Service – applying what we know about employee engagement to improve the customer experience

Instructor
This programme has been written and developed by me, Amrit Sandhar, founder of The Engagement Coach. The Engagement Coach has worked with a number of well-known brands across the UK such as Bupa, TrustFord, Dunelm, UKTV and ISG at Boardroom level, to improve employee engagement/ experience, ultimately to improve organisational productivity.
Over the last 5 years, we've taken our insights and experiences, using our data-driven approach, our passion for neuroscience and psychology to drive behavioural change, and brought this together to provide you with everything we have learned.
I originally started my career in healthcare as a qualified Pharmacist, and after spending a number of years in Operations, I went on to oversee half of the UK’s Pharmacy and Optical units for Walmart’s UK business, Asda. Having successfully worked in the healthcare sector, I went on to head up Employee Engagement for Asda, before taking up a role with the prestigious Best Companies (the name behind The Sunday Times Best Companies to work for list), working at boardroom level, helping organisations improve their employee engagement. I am a qualified executive coach, a Walmart accredited change trainer, and has a CIPD Advanced Diploma (Level 7) in HRM/HRD.
I have written numerous articles for publications such as The Guardian, Metro, HR Director, Telegraph and the Training Journal, and has carried out a host of keynote talks on the subject of Employee Engagement, both in the UK and in the US. We have a podcast series called 'Engaging People, Powering Companies' with guests and insights that we share weekly.
