"OpenBlend is a real leveller in terms of line manager ability. Regardless of line manager experience and competence, OpenBlend allows everyone to experience a well-structured, development-led, coaching-based 1:1 with their line manager. It's easy to generate actions and outcomes from these conversations, and provide individuals with a clear set of next steps towards achieving their goals."

Chris Dabbs, Head of Learning

The King's Trust

"OpenBlend puts the employee at the heart of all 1:1 conversations. It facilitates discussions based predominantly on an agenda created by the employee. It is extremely simple to use, encourages regularity and reminds managers that there is a real person in front of them who has a life outside of work which impacts their behaviour and ability to do their job. It promotes and develops a coaching style and supports a consistent approach to 1:1's across the business."

"The account management experience we receive is brilliant. Proactive and insightful, they really understand the needs of our business and how OpenBlend can best support us. We love that our colleagues can use the tool in the way that works best for them - we make recommendations on frequency of use and the benefits of the different features, but ultimately the messaging is that the main purpose is to support effective coaching conversations between individuals and their manager, so it is in their hands."

Amardeep D'Amaro, Director of Global Talent Development

Travelport

"It is the most comprehensive and supportive tool I have ever come across. It allows me the freedom to focus on asking the best questions, touching the right nerve and properly listening to what I’m being told, rather than constantly having an internal conversation about how I’ll track something or scratch around to remember what was discussed last time."

Josh Winfield, Engineering Manager

Gymshark

"OpenBlend facilitates meaningful 1:1 conversations between our people and their managers. Our people lead the conversation about all aspects of their work and life bringing their authentic selves to work."

LOW CONFIDENCE & CAPABILITY IN 1:1S

When managers lack the confidence or capability to lead meaningful conversations, the ripple effect shows up in engagement, eNPS and retention. OpenBlend gives managers and employees a coaching-led framework that builds the structure and habits to make every 1:1 count.

IMPROVING UNDERPERFORMANCE

Most businesses are quicker to manage underperformance out than to turn it around. OpenBlend gives HR leaders the structure to identify it early, address it properly, and raise the output of every person in the business consistently.

INEFFECTIVE DEVELOPMENT

When development isn't personalised or discussed regularly, people disengage and you'll struggle to retain them. OpenBlend gives every person a personalised plan that gets built, progressed and discussed continuously through 1:1 conversations.

POCKETS OF DISENGAGEMENT

Inconsistent engagement is one of the hardest problems to see, until it's too late. OpenBlend gives HR leaders the data to spot disengagement early and the tools to address it consistently across every team.

CORE HR DOES NOT IMPROVE PERFORMANCE

Core HR keeps the business running. But it was never designed to improve performance or develop people. OpenBlend sits alongside your existing HRIS as a best-of-breed performance and development platform to do the work that core HR tech can't.

OUTDATED APPRAISALS & REVIEWS

PIPs and performance reviews shouldn't be used as a last resort. OpenBlend helps HR leaders create a consistent, engaged approach to evaluating performance and developing people - one that builds confidence on both sides of the conversation.
