Impulse Leisure
People Culture Skills
With communities at their core, Impulse Leisure provide extensive leisure provision, alongside GP Referrals, carers coffee mornings, knit and chat, and run education sessions with the emergency services.
Managing Director Karl, attended the launch of Active Essex’s People, Culture, Skills Strategy, which led to him completing diagnostic testing, an organisation deep dive and received business guidance over the past 2 years to identify areas to develop the people, culture and the skills within the Impulse Leisure workforce.
As an organisation before the Covid-19 pandemic, Impulse Leisure was a strong business with growing membership numbers. But due to the impact of a number of lockdowns and consequently income pressure, they started back up in ‘survival mode’, with a clear goal to keep the business open and people in their jobs. As a result, their personality become fractured and through the diagnostic testing, recognised that they had lost their focus on the people that work within the organisation.
Working with specialist consultants Sporting People, and Active Essex they have been able to design their approach to developing a strategy, and ensuring they bring their suppliers, partners and employees on the journey with them.
In turn, this open and vulnerable process as allowed Impulse Leisure to provide clarity on where they are heading as an organisation and outline the clear pathways for everyone to see a future within and through the organisation.
