Employee Support
Welcome to the moment you open the door to...
Supporting your people through boarding life’s moments in a way that works for them.
Getting an extra pair of hands to help your people in a busy boarding world
Everyone getting time, flexibility, expertise and help.
Yes please!
Let’s take an Exeat Together
Right now – someone in your community is having a moment that matters. Celebrating a birthday. Preparing for an interview, inside or outside your organisation. Caring for a loved one. Being welcomed into your community. Investing time in developing new skills – funded by your organisation or not. Reflecting on their next steps based on their lived experience. Tending to a family crisis. Preparing to return to your community after a period of absence. Looking for the next step in their personal and professional journey. Preparing to leave you after many years of service or just a month.
But do you have the time, space and skills to help in this moment?
The extra pair of hands you’ve always needed.
Working in boarding schools means that you are often tasked with managing a to do list that grows at a quicker pace that you can tick things off. In terms of people management, there are different models from a dedicated human resource provider, internal person or you having to do it all. But the big question is, do they understand your boarding employee’s lived experience?
This is where Exeat Together is different.
When an employee’s boarding world starts to become difficult, living at work can be challenging and the way ahead unclear. The impact of the delay in support can be seen in adjusted rotas, breakdown of staff relationships, extra pressure on your teams and their families. How do I know? Because I have been there, lived it and have helped people move forwards. My depth of experience can help you unplug the gaps when you need more resources, experiencing a busy period, or need specific support.
Is it time to get proactive support from a specialist who knows the global boarding worlds inside and out?
This is your moment.
The moment you outsource the support for your community one practitioner at a time.
Exeat Together is on a mission to create boarding communities where people at all levels know how to support themselves and their teammates in the moments that matter. It is a mission critical moment for your community to thrive in these ever-changing times. We do this by providing Exeat Passes to your boarding team to help them. Time and space dedicated for them to stop, talk, review and act.
Together, let’s build a boarding workplace culture that makes life transitions easier, not harder.
Ready to partner?
Together, lets activate an Exeat Pass to a member of your community who needs independent support.
They may be making choices that could affect your boarding world, and it is time to be proactive and open the door to care to make every moment count.
As your people partner with an understanding of boarding life, my office hours reflect this with times available during the day, evenings and weekends. Half terms and holidays as well. It is important for this support to work, that we meet at the best times and ways of working for both you and your employee.
As an extension of your team, I offer support in different ways – a one-time moment, continuous engagement or retained services based on your needs.
Together we can!

Ready?
With support across the whole boarding employee lifecycle, here are your options. From admissions to departures, there is a solution for you. A fresh take on human resources, coming from a boarding heart of lived experience and change.
Admissions
It is all change when you admit a new person into your community. Whether it is an internal promotion or a new colleague who has travelled halfway across the world, together we can give them the time and support they need.
They have stepped up or in, so how is it going? Is it time to have independent support so they can bring the best version of themselves to you and your boarders? From mentoring, coaching to an advocacy- together we can empower them to be their best.
A whole life change in a new world. An exciting yet daunting place as they learn the rules of your boarding world which could be worlds apart. Is their performance consistent? What if they had that space, a space to get support outside your community to thrive not just survive? Change is hard, but an early departure costs more.
Did you promote up to give them a chance while you advertised again? Or, have you appointed and it is very faced paced? Say thank you to your interim, the fee holder or continuity provider for your boarders, with some focussed professional development time to meet them where they are. That internal interim could be the key to your boarding house future.
Returning
Returning to a boarding community can be tough after any period of absence. You may have put an interim in place or shared the load to make your community work. It is time for independent support to help your employee come back strong and successful.
The leave was planned but what about the return? Everything has changed and you want them to start well. Together, we can.
A difficult moment for any person – to make the decision to take time away from the boarding world. Together we can help them come back with a plan that works for them from day one and in the future.
In addition, for reasonable adjustments we offer an accredited training for their back to work plan for your compliance.
Life happens, and together we are here for you. Is it time for the space you need to work out a plan to move ahead. If you wish to take time for you without school involvement, check out the 1 to 1 moments section especially if you are looking to leave boarding school life.
Wayfinder
Living in a boarding community means always being on show – and this is hard. Having a space where you can be you, say what is needed to an independent person is the first step to help.
Help them find their way.
With every lived experience being different, together we work on what your employee wants to and needs. Paid for by your school with agreed communication protocols so everyone knows what to expect. After an initial discussion, a proposal will be put together based on the expertise of Tracy. It is time for your professional story to be heard and to open the next chapter together.

Departures
People come and go, but the reputation of your community is in each word they say about you when you are not about. If you have an extra revolving door of staff departures, this affects each boarder, their families and your reputation. In our current climate, you need to both a listener and a future builder.
From redundancy support to external interviews, together we can.
It is the moment the world changes in ways that you can never imagine. How do I know? I have been there. Support for you is key in this moment from understanding the reality, building your next steps and having confidence for the future. This moment has been built from what I did- what your employees want and need at this difficult moment. Bespoke rates and packages are available for school governors.
They left, but their impact has been felt all over the school in one way or another. We have all had that resignation that we did not want, but that decision was not made overnight. It is tough for both sides. With an independent partner, it is time to ask, learn and act. Departures leave clues, let’s find and solve them together.
Becoming more common in education, these are difficult for all sides. Providing independent support for your employee is an act of kindness outside of the legal matters that needs to be in place. Finish well with them by offering a bespoke package of confidential support for life after your community. Each package is designed just for them. The outcome will not change, but together their future can.
They served you, lived through many leadership changes and moments while working in your community – but their time has come. A difficult moment as their life world has been so connected to yours. Take this moment to help them take the next steps by specialist coaching together to begin their new chapter.
