Henley Leadership Programs Impact are Long-Term with ROI on Retention & Performance
Henley Leadership recently completed a case study for a large global technology provider in Seattle. The goal was to better understand the return on investment of their long-term, immersive leadership program, which focuses on self-awareness and purposeful leadership. The study assessed the training of hundreds of leaders within the organization and found many impactful benefits, including:
- Significant boost in retention, performance, and leadership effectiveness.
- Impactful outcomes included estimated savings of over $20M in avoided turnover costs.
- 84% of participants reported improved job performance.
- Tools learned in the program are now embedded in team meetings, performance conversations, onboarding, and cross-functional work.
"Across workplaces and communities alike, people are navigating enormous change — from the uncertainty teams feel as AI reshapes how we work, to the substantial work demands while faced with limited resources and the growing sense of isolation many carry beyond the office," said Shanon Olsen, COO, Executive Coach, and Facilitator at Henley Leadership. "In moments like this, leadership can't be reduced to transactions or performance alone. It has to be deeply human."
"At Henley, we believe developing people is about more than driving business outcomes; it's about cultivating resilience, connection, and sustainability across the whole of life. When leaders learn how to lead with care, their teams thrive, even in the face of uncertainty," Olsen continued. "Henley Live is designed with this belief at its core, and we look forward to creating a space where leaders can reconnect to what matters most."
