Workplace Innovation Europe logo

Workplace Innovation Europe

Our team has been at the heart of the workplace innovation movement in Europe since the early 1990s.

We created Workplace Innovation Europe as a not-for-profit organisation specifically to promote and develop workplace innovation.

Our advice, coaching and hands-on support has helped many companies, public sector organisations and NGOs across Europe to improve performance, enhance capacity for innovation and create better jobs for their people.

We have also helped shape and deliver policies and programmes for the European Commission, governments, business support agencies and employers’ organisations in many countries.

Our approach combines hard, evidence-based argument with the ability to stimulate and engage senior leaders, managers and front-line employees. We work with leading international universities and research institutes to capture and analyse leading practice, and to translate it into practical tools and learning resources.
