High Performance, Simplified. Across the UK.
UK HR and L&D leaders are under more pressure than ever to prove the business value of people investment – while stretched budgets, leadership gaps and a workforce being reshaped by AI leave little room for tools that don’t deliver. TMS Global gives you the evidence-based diagnostics and team development system to build high-performing teams, develop leaders that are engaged and perform, as well as demonstrate measurable impact.
Validated by the British Psychological Society. Trusted by over 2.5 million people in 190 countries.
UK Organisations Are Being Asked to Do More With Less. We Help You Deliver.
The UK workplace today is defined by a specific set of pressures that most psychometric tools were not built to address:
- Scrutiny on every pound spent on development – boards and CPOs are demanding evidence that L&D investment delivers measurable business outcomes, not just completion rates
- A leadership capability crisis – only 44% of UK managers have received formal leadership training, yet managers directly influence 70% of team engagement. The gap between what leaders are expected to do and what they have been equipped to do has never been wider
- Skills shortages with no quick fix – skills shortages now rank as the single highest workforce-related risk to organisational growth, yet most L&D teams are already operating at full stretch
- Hybrid as the permanent default – with over a quarter of UK workers in hybrid arrangements and that number rising, building genuine team cohesion across dispersed, asynchronous teams is a daily operational challenge
- Change fatigue at every level – 66% of HR and L&D leaders expect even more organisational change in the year ahead, and teams that cannot adapt quickly become the bottleneck to performance
TMS Global gives your people a positive, practical, shared language for how they work for higher engagement and cohesion. We give your organisation the diagnostic foundation to build teams and leaders that perform when it matters.
What You Can Achieve With TMS Global
Organisations across the UK use TMS tools to tackle their most pressing people challenges. Here is what our practitioners and clients are building with the TMS suite.
Leadership Growth
The LLP|360 Linking Leader Profile assesses effectiveness across 13 key leadership competencies using a unique two-question approach, measuring both what leaders should be doing and what they are actually doing. That gap is where targeted development happens. This is one of the highest-leverage off-the-shelf interventions available to UK HR leaders. Scalable across levels, immediately actionable and built on observable behaviours rather than abstract traits.
Team Collaboration
The Team Management Profile (TMP) gives individuals and teams a shared, evidence-based language for how they prefer to work, make decisions and communicate. It reduces the friction that comes from unspoken assumptions, builds faster trust and creates the kind of psychological safety that allows teams to challenge constructively and innovate confidently. Used with over 2.5 million people across every major industry it consistently lands well regardless of sector, seniority or background with immediate impact.
Insight Into Team Health
Team Signals provides multi-rater diagnostics that track team engagement and flag friction points before they become performance problems. For L&D and HR teams under pressure to demonstrate impact, Team Signals gives you measurable, repeatable evidence of how team engagement is changing over time.
Resilience and Change Readiness
Whether you are navigating an AI transformation, post-merger integration, a restructure or a shift in strategic direction, the QO2 Profile reveals how individuals frame risk and opportunity. It tells you who will champion change, who needs support and how to build the right conditions for adoption without burning out your people in the process. Particularly valuable for change managers, OD consultants and HR Business Partners supporting large-scale transformation.
L&D ROI
UK L&D leaders are facing a relentless demand to connect people investment to business outcomes. TMS tools are BPS-reviewed, benchmarkable and built on over 40 years of peer-reviewed research. They give you repeatable diagnostics that show exactly how individuals and teams are developing over time, data you can take to the boardroom.
A Values-Aligned Culture
The Window on Work Values (WoWV) Profile surfaces what people genuinely value at work and where misalignment between individual values and organisational culture is creating friction or disengagement. In a UK talent market where retention is the number one people priority, understanding and addressing values misalignment is one of the most effective retention tools available.
Why UK Organisations Choose TMS Global
Trusted by organisations across the UK for over four decades, TMS Global delivers the evidence, the tools and the expertise to make your people investment count.
BPS Reviewed – the Standard UK HR Professionals Trust
The TMS suite of profiles has been reviewed favourably by the British Psychological Society. In the UK, where evidence standards for psychometric tools are taken seriously by HR professionals, OD practitioners and procurement teams, this is an important distinction. It means you can deploy TMS tools with full confidence in their scientific validity.
Built for Work – Not Personality Typing
TMS profiles focus on work preferences, values and leadership behaviours. They adapt as careers and roles evolve, which is why we recommend retaking profiles every two years or at key transitions. Unlike personality tools, TMS does not put people in boxes – it gives them accurate, actionable insight into how they show up at work and how to work better with others, encourages development and growth.
Proven at Scale Across UK Industries
TMS tools have been deployed across financial services, professional services, the NHS, construction, manufacturing, technology, higher education and the public sector. From FTSE-listed corporates to fast-growing SMEs and public bodies, the TMS Global approach has been proven to work across the full breadth of UK organisational life.
