How we Help

Engage Your People

We believe the importance of people and culture is often overlooked in private equity, but our experience has taught us that it really matters. Great cultures attract and retain great people, and that is fundamental to scalable growth.

It’s why we designed a People Toolkit, to help management teams to create a more engaged and happier workforce, focussing on areas such as:

  • Engagement scores
  • Cultural assessment
  • HR function maturity
  • HR system selection

Naz Dossa, CEO Peoplesafe

One of the things about ECI that really stands out is the focus on people and the culture of an organisation. They’ve been very supportive in ensuring that we’ve got employee engagement, the right people in the business and making sure that the people agenda is the main agenda. That’s been a really welcome bonus.”
