Engagement scores improved 13%
3 Mobile was an employee engagement rising star who systematically committed to innovatively transforming their predominately Generation Y culture from the inside out using Life by Design’s Employee-Driven Engagement and Self-Leadership approach. They had us run over 25 full day programs throughout Australia to better engage and motivate their people.
meCentral.com was used very successfully pre and post program with around 85% of their total workforce using the system to better manage their work, life and personal finances.
The Results
Their engagement scores improved 13%, an amazing result considering AON Hewitt deem an excellent result being a 6-9% engagement score improvement.
Life by Design was fabulous to work with – innovative, insightful and relevant. Their work was a critical element in our Hewitt engagement scores moving from 46% to 73%. They combine a deep knowledge of human motivation and behavioral change with real world practical processes to make change simple.

Best Change Management in 2012 HR Awards and Top Employer in Australia 2013
TNT is a global organisation with over 5000 employees in Australia and New Zealand. To maximise employee engagement Life by Design delivered a series of People Glue Programs for leaders and executives across the region. TNT resonated so strongly with the methodology that they have subsequently embedded our 7 Motivational Drivers into their culture, including performance reviews.
The Results
Despite a challenging period including the GFC, industrial disputes and a corporate buy-out – when you would expect engagement scores to stay stable at best – overall engagement score increased.
TNT have taken additional steps towards creating a sustainable, Employee Driven Engagement approach by providing meCentral.com access to employees.
TNT has gone on to win 2012 Best Change Management in the Australian HR Awards and also be certified as one of the Top Employers in Australia 2013.
For TNT the biggest benefit (of meCentral.com) is knowing what engages their employees and what they can do to get the most out of their staff.

Staff turnover reduced to 8%
Software giant SAP employs almost 500 people throughout Australia and NZ. As is the case with many organisations, their workforce was being asked to do more with less. The competitive environment was understandably a challenge for their busy time poor workforce. SAP liked our self-leadership approach, so Life by Design® implemented the following key phases:
- Present at their national conference
- Conduct a leadership program for their top executives and CEO
- Conduct a consulting piece around employee driven engagement
- Facilitate a series of Self-Leadership programs throughout Australia and New Zealand
- Implement meCentral.com for all employees (and uniquely their spouses)
The Results
The result was that SAP transformed their employee engagement to a point where staff turnover was reduced to the ideal sweet spot of only 8%
Excellent news – good to see it’s working! You do make it easy!
