Stakeholder Engagement

Engaging the right people, in the right way — to surface insights, reduce resistance to change, and build momentum where it matters most.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Our Process: Stakeholder Engagement

STEP 1

Get Clear on the What and the Why

We start by working with you to understand what decisions are being made, what success looks like, and why stakeholder engagement matters in this context.

Whether you’re redesigning a program, shifting strategy, or addressing culture concerns — we clarify goals, risks and the voices that need to be heard.

STEP 2

Map the Stakeholders that Matter

We identify key stakeholder groups — from Board and executive, to staff, clients, and community — and tailor the right mix of engagement methods.

That could include one-on-one interviews, surveys, group discussions or external consultations, depending on your needs and timelines.

step 3

Surface Insights and Spot the Signals

We collate what we’ve heard, look for themes, tensions and opportunities, and translate the noise into usable insights.

You get a clear view of where your people stand, what’s likely to gain traction, and what might hold change back — so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

step 4

Support Decisions and Drive Momentum

We present our findings and recommendations in plain English — so the insights don’t sit in a drawer, but actually guide action.

We can also help you share outcomes back to your people, plan change and communication strategies, and align your next steps to the voices that matter most.

Key Benefits include:

Elevate Employee Engagement
By being transparent and forthright with staff but also actively listening to their opinions and suggestions, in a two-way diaglogue.

Reduced Resistance To Change
Involving stakeholders early builds trust, boosts transparency, and heads off backlash — especially during sensitive or strategic shifts.

Colloborative Innovation
We can help you set the stage for creative problem-solving and open idea sharing to improve any aspect of your workplace culture.

Insights that Inform Smart Decisions
We help you hear what’s really going on — beyond the loudest voices or assumptions — so decisions are grounded in real context, not guesswork.

Targeted and Inclusive
Whether you’re engaging Board members, front-line teams, or external clients, we tailor the process so people feel heard and respected.

Support Beyond the Feedback Loop
From sharing insights with your people to guiding the next steps, we can help translate engagement into momentum — far beyond the project report.

Have a question?

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on the size and scope of your engagement — including how many stakeholder groups are involved and what methods are used. We’re happy to chat it through and provide a tailored quote.

Will you provide a report with your findings?

Yes — you’ll receive a clear, practical summary of what we heard, key themes, and recommended actions. We can also help you share the outcomes with your stakeholders and plan your next steps.

How long does a stakeholder engagement process take?

It depends on the scope — some projects wrap up in a few weeks, others roll out over a couple of months. We’ll tailor the timeline based on your needs, availability, and urgency.

What if our stakeholders are disengaged or wary?

That’s where an external consultant can help. We create safe, neutral spaces for honest feedback — especially when trust has been shaken or change is coming. We’re skilled at surfacing the insights others might miss.

How do you engage with stakeholders?

We use a mix of methods based on who you need to hear from and what you need to know — such as one-on-one interviews, surveys, focus groups or workshops. We’ll recommend an approach that suits your people, timelines and budget.

What kinds of stakeholder engagement does Workology Co offer?

We work with internal and external stakeholders — including Boards, executive teams, staff, clients or community members — depending on the goals of your project. Engagements can focus on culture, program redesign, change management, or pulse checks.

How much does it cost?

Costs vary based on your size, scope, and what’s included (e.g. number of interviews , focus groups or workshops). Let’s chat and we’ll provide a custom quote — no pressure.

What do we actually walk away with?

You’ll get a clear report outlining key themes, strengths, risks and practical recommendations — not vague ideas or off-the-shelf solutions. We want you to walk away with insight you can actually use.

Is it confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is essential. Feedback is de-identified and presented in themes — not linked to individuals. People tend to speak more openly with an external consultant, which means you get more honest insight.

Will it disrupt our work?

No — we design the process to fit around your team’s day-to-day operations.
