What’s the Roffey Park Difference?

With you, we develop employees, managers, leaders and HR and OD professionals to navigate organisational life, inspire those around them and support one another through everyday and long-term strategic change.
Our programmes are designed as safe spaces to facilitate collaboration, discussion and the co-creation of action and practice.
We adopt a ‘do with’ rather than a ‘do to’ approach. We don’t presuppose the answer, nor the journey, but we will support you in gaining clarity on how best to achieve organisational goals in a healthy and sustainable way. Our solutions are co-created, bespoke, and tailored to your needs.
We use technology to enhance participants’ learning journey. Through our progressive learning experience platform, MyRoffeyPark, learners have access to the tools, module materials and support whenever and wherever they require.

What our clients say about our services

Participant, Leadership Programme, University College Dublin

Excellent. I have done leadership courses before and was expecting more of the same, so was pleasantly surprised! I was really enthused and motivated by the content and the facilitators. The facilitators are clearly well-established in their field and inspired confidence and trust through their openness, their knowledge and their experience.

MSc in People and OD graduate 2024

The course was challenging, interesting, horizon-broadening and surprising. On the whole, brilliant lecturers and consistently excellent learner support.

Senior Leader, Scientific Research Organisation

Roffey Park’s approach is holistic; it’s about developing the organisation as a whole, not just improving individual skills. From the outset, Roffey Park invested time to build credibility, trust and fully immerse themselves in our organisation. This approach really added value, their preparation, level of understanding and attention to detail was incredible.

Senior HRBP, Global Technology Organisation

Absolutely brilliant and beautifully pitched journey through OD, self, group and organisations. Insightful, impactful, humbling, energising, uplifting and transformational. The best development programme I have been on.

Head of Learning and Development, Dimensions UK

I have always valued what Roffey Park bring to the table in response to the challenges we describe and how they tailor that to our business. The depth of their expertise and the quality of ideas and responses they offer is then further enhanced through stakeholder discussion and partnership working before we even start working with any delegates.

Senior Leader, Construction sector

I’ve worked with Roffey Park for many years, and their approach is ideal. They carefully design each programme around our organisational needs and the skills our people require to achieve business goals. They provide the right programmes, for the right audience, in the right learning environment.

Sussex Health and Care

Realising that years of experiences does not make a good leader and that we all go through similar phases… the programme made new leaders feel that they are not alone in those challenges.
