Offering evidence-based leadership development, return-to-work training, and wellbeing-focused professional courses for managers, HR teams, and organisations across the UK. Our CPD-accredited programmes support leaders to communicate effectively, build psychologically safe teams, and guide employees through complex transitions such as returning after illness, burnout, or major life events.

Our courses help managers and organisations create healthier, kinder and more productive workplaces. Designed for first-line through to senior leaders, our training provides practical skills in coaching-led communication, managing people fairly, supporting wellbeing, and strengthening organisational culture. Whether you are an HR professional seeking structured development pathways, a line manager building confidence, or an organisation looking to embed compassionate leadership, our programmes ensure learners leave equipped with tools they can use immediately.

Why is leadership development so important for today’s organisations? Because managers influence wellbeing, performance, retention and culture more than any other factor. Learners ask:

• How do I manage difficult conversations with confidence?
• How do I support team members returning from sickness, maternity or burnout?
• How do I build trust and psychological safety?
• How do I align my team with organisational strategy?

Our courses answer these questions through practical frameworks, real-world scenarios and psychology-informed models grounded in current research.

How does return-to-work training improve outcomes? Evidence shows that structured support reduces long-term sickness absence, strengthens employee engagement and increases retention. Our signature programme – including the Phoenix Framework for navigating serious illness – gives both leaders and returning employees the clarity, confidence and ongoing structure needed for a sustainable and collaborative route back to work.

After training with TALG, learners report greater confidence, improved communication skills, clearer decision-making, and stronger relationships at work.
