What People Exchange Offers

WIG's cross-sector insights into government/business scheme gives you the opportunity to explore how other organisations tackle particular business and operational issues and challenges. It also provides a short-term, highly practical way of gaining an understanding of what makes another sector tick.

WIG's cross-sector mentoring programme helps managers to meet business and individual challenges by establishing a one-to-one mentoring partnership with an experienced leader from another sector.

WIG provides a bespoke service for organisations with board vacancies, using its extensive knowledge of the particular needs of government department and agency boards.

WIG short-term attachments tend to be project based in nature and therefore lend themselves to gaining practical experience in another sector.

WIG long-term secondments provide a unique insight into another way of working, and can typically last for between 4 months and 12 months. This involves individuals leaving their current responsibilities in the parent organisation for that period. This timeframe allows candidates to immerse themselves totally in the host organisation providing in-depth exposure to another sector.

Many organisations are now looking for structured secondment and interchange programmes across their whole organisation to help deliver key business goals or for single experiences involving groups of senior staff.
