The workplace is changing. Now, more than ever before, organisations must consider how their workplace is regarded not just by their employees but also by the world at large. Typically, businesses focus on measuring quantifiable outputs such as profit, market share or growth, without considering three vital contributory factors that inevitably determine not just success, but also survival:

• fun
  
  
• attitude
  
  
• relationships

At Fresh Tracks better business means:

Relationships matter - we value relationships above all else. Staff, customers and suppliers are more important to us than technology and figures.

Fun - we spend too much of our lives working not to enjoy it.

Ideas are our life blood - we cherish an environment in which creativity takes precedence over bureaucracy; we don't feel the need to conform to corporate stereotypes.

Waste is wrong - we know that waste not only spoils our environment, it wrecks our bottom line.

Wealth creation for distribution - a percentage of our profits and resources are used to support a range of community and social projects as well as strengthen our business growth & development.

Organic growth - we are steadily building stable businesses on our own achievements, not faking success with borrowed money.

Fun
Our motto is "teams that play together work together" and we believe that having fun at work is important not just in creating a positive team environment, but also in raising morale, boosting confidence and reducing staff turnover. Having fun helps maintain the positive attitude to work that generates commitment and job satisfaction. Fresh Tracks' programmes can be designed to address many different issues, but the one thing they have in common is that they are all set within a framework of fun and enjoyment, without taking participants out of their comfort zone.

Attitude
We believe that there is always a choice about the way you do your work even if there is not a choice about the work itself. We encourage people to choose a positive attitude to their job and to their clients and colleagues. In taking this positive approach, individuals are committing themselves to doing the best they can, exploiting opportunities and developing their own role. Our tailored programmes focus on generating this commitment through facilitated discussion as well as through themed activities, ensuring that people go away from a Fresh Tracks' programme with a "can do" attitude.

Relationships
If you believe the old adage that "it's not what you know, but who you know", then it stands to reason that true success must depend - at least in part - on the quality and not just the quantity of our relationships. Our ability to balance work and home life, while also allowing time to appreciate the hidden qualities of the people around us is increasingly becoming a lifestyle measure of success. Fresh Tracks' relationship-building programmes help leaders and high performing teams to strengthen and deepen their work relationships and can also help resolve areas of conflict.
