“From the first engagement with Thornhill we were impressed with their professionalism and
the solution they offered once they understood our needs.

They guided us throughout the process … We were impressed with the quality of the solution … their work ethic in the entire process, where they were true to their word and delivery, in line with the agreed plan and timelines.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Thornhill … we highly recommend their Culture/Climate Survey.”

“Many thanks for a survey process which went very smoothly. Administration was quick, and I really appreciated access to your developer to deal with one or two queries. The process was smooth and the report formats clear.”

“Everything was delivered in time, even when there were delays from us – there was always a follow up. Feedback coaching was delivered in a non-threatening and very considerate manner. … the raters and the managers being rated were apprehensive given their previous experience of a similar exercise a couple of years back (different service provider), but all fears were allayed and employees were willing to participate hence the 90% response rate.”

“Werksmans Attorneys engaged Thornhill during 2022 to conduct an employee climate survey for the entire organisation. … From the initial engagement every member of the Thornhill team presented themselves in a highly professional manner instilling confidence that we were in good hands. They guided us through the process and produced a survey for our staff which would elicit the necessary information we needed to make meaningful change. The feedback and time they took after the survey to present, interpret and explain the results to the executive team meant that we were able to really drill down on the results to find areas that needed immediate attention. It has been a pleasure to work with everyone at Thornhill and we will definitely use them should the need arise in the future. I would highly recommend them as a value adding service provider without hesitation.”

Thornhill take time to understand the programme outcomes and timelines and provide their knowledge and expertise in selection and administration of such programmes.
