Great place to work - Consultant The Improve Group Employee Review

Flexible work arrangements. Decisions are driven by staff engagement and preferences. The organization is responsive to staff needs and empowers staff to influence and/or drive key decision-making processes . Commitment to equity both in supporting personal development and in the services provided to clients. Working with clients that are making a true impact on people, and helping them discover how they can deepen that impact.

Not necessarily a con of the organization but just consulting in general isn't for everybody. It can come with times where you are really busy, and times when your schedule is more open. But The Improve Group always works with its team members to help navigate challenges that may come up in the consulting process - the team is very supportive!

The Improve Group offers evaluation and strategic planning professionals the opportunity to pursue their passions in a work environment that supports their full person. Staff are engaged in selecting projects, building their teams, and proposing an evaluation design. This process empowers staff with determining which projects meet their PD goals and passions. TIG utilizes a community-responsive approach that lifts community expertise in evaluation practice. The work done is thoughtful, genuine, and focused on building a better world. TIG supports staff through flexible scheduling (both hours and work locations), a healthy professional development budget, and additional supports during big deadlines (including catered food, massages, and pet therapy). TIG is a great place to work on a passionate team, partner with organizations dedicated to great causes, and feel supported in balancing your work and personal life.

The external consulting world comes with its challenges, with deadlines for multiple projects often piling up around the same timelines. Open work spaces present challenges in accommodating the work preferences of many staff in one area.
