Testimonials
Springboard is a wonderfully effective way of improving the lives of women, especially those in scientific and technical fields where women are still under-represented at the top. Laura James, The Hand and Gender Agenda
Springboard is like having a new window cut in an existing wall – you see everything in a different light and reassess the significance of things. Participant, University of Cambridge
‘Inspir-actical’ is how I would describe Springboard. It inspires women to decide what they most want to achieve and then, very practically, helps them do it. It’s fun and involving.
The Springboard Program has proved very beneficial to my staff. It has encouraged them to take responsibility for their own lives, to be more positive and to set both personal and work goals.
I have a different view of her now. She will take a high level of responsibility rather than expect direction and instructions. I feel more confident about giving her responsibility.
The noticeable improvement in positive attitude, how my staff see themselves and their job and their all round participation is definitely attributed to the Springboard Development Program.
BP was the first company to use Springboard in Australia in 1992. Full of practical ideas and skills that work and, unlike other workshops, they stay with the women who have participated as the women have taken responsibility for their own changes and futures.
Our company has a long history of using the Springboard program Few programs are available today which provide the same ‘A-ha’ liberating experience as that offered by Springboard. For this reason and more, Boral Limited will continue to offer this program as one of its key developmental activities.
Springboard has been successful in encouraging the women to reassess their lives, both business and personal, and equipping them to make whatever changes they decide. It has also enhanced the communication between the employees and management.
