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.
Traverse was established in 1989 and startd 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 and we are extremely proud that our Director, Lucy Farrow, was named as Employee Owner of the Year in 2017.
