Our vision:
An inclusive society that deliver better outcomes for all
To achieve our vision of an inclusive society we support our clients to practice evidence based and inclusive decision making. By developing strong evidence, empowered citizens and capable leaders we contribute to more effective organisations, higher levels of civic participation and better decisions.
We measure our impact so we can understand our progress and learn from our mistakes, we share it so other people can too. If you've worked with us as a client or a participant we may ask you to tell us about the impact the work has had for you, your organisation and the world around you. This is just one of the measures we report annually in our Social Impact report. You can read the latest report from 2020 here.
Living our values: employee ownership
Traverse was established in 1989 and started our employee ownership journey in 1994. We became wholly employee owned in 2009 and were the UK’s first employee-owned “public interest” company. Traverse is committed to the aims of the Employee Ownership Association. If you'd like to find out more about employee ownership and how it can shape the culture of an organisation, please contact us.
