# Totem Consulting
Totem is a London-based team of business psychologists specialising in assessment and development solutions across the employee lifecycle. They work with organisations to evaluate and enhance their workforce, enabling people to perform at their best whilst helping companies unlock their full potential.
The firm serves mid-to-large enterprises across diverse sectors, including hospitality (KFC), fintech (uSwitch), faith organisations (Church of England), and media/research companies (Kantar). Their client base demonstrates their ability to operate across varied industries and organisational cultures.
What distinguishes Totem is their pragmatic approach combining rigorous psychological assessment expertise with genuine client customisation. Rather than imposing generic solutions, they invest time in deeply understanding each client's specific culture, business challenges and objectives. This listening-first methodology—repeatedly praised by clients—sets them apart from more transactional consulting firms.
Their core offerings span two areas: bespoke assessment services where they develop competency frameworks, assessment materials and interview guides rooted in best practice; and tailored development programmes delivering measurable behavioural change through targeted learning interventions. Clients particularly value their ability to "cut through to the core of issues" and build solutions that genuinely fit organisational needs.
The testimonials reveal consistent themes: credibility across all organisational levels, flexibility to adapt to client contexts, and deep expertise in talent management and learning & development strategy.
