12-WeekEmployee Engagement MasterCLASS
You can’t train engagement. You can activate it. For twelve weeks a handpicked group of your people lead, recognise each other and own results, every week, with an ActionCOACH coach. The same survey measures your whole company before, halfway and after.
Run for ActionCOACH TNPY by Aakash Ak Chopra and Sunil Sethia.
The state of work
Not because they are bad people. Because nobody has given them a reason to give more. This is what Gallup’s global workplace study found for 2025.
In South Asia, 21% of employees are engaged. Among managers worldwide, the people meant to engage everyone else, just 22%.

Sound familiar?
Engagement isn’t a mood or a perk. It can be measured, and it can be built.

Workshops, offsites and personality profiles all have their place. But knowledge fades the moment people walk back into a workplace that hasn’t changed. Engagement comes from doing: small acts, every week, with colleagues holding each other to them.
| Area | Training | Group activation |
|---|---|---|
| Format | A day or two, away from work | 60–90 minutes, every week, for 12 weeks |
| Who talks | The trainer | Every participant, every session |
| Focus | Knowledge | Action at work, the same week |
| Accountability | Ends when the course does | Reported to colleagues, week after week |
| Hierarchy | Leaders send people | Everyone equal in the room |
| Proof | A feedback form | The engagement survey before, halfway and after |
“Agree” isn’t engaged. When someone agrees their work is fine, they’ll do it fine. Only people who strongly agree give more than is asked, and that is the only answer our survey counts.
The heart and the brain
A body survives on a trickle of blood, but its heart and brain are working far harder than they should. Communication is a company’s blood flow: when it runs freely, both work at full strength.
The brain
Fed by Brain Acts: your people’s ideas to improve how the business works.
The heart
Fed by Leadership Acts: what each person does for colleagues, every week.
The 6 Steps
Every group climbs the same six steps. The first two build honesty and then trust; the last two are where the results show.
Measure before anything changes. The survey sets the benchmark, and we agree the results that matter to you.
The purpose, shared loud and clear, and what everyone expects of each other. Accountability becomes collective.
People really see each other. Stories, honest feedback and time together turn colleagues into a team.
A shared vision the group owns: everyone rowing the same way, at the same time.
People take responsibility, bring ideas and recognise each other without being asked.
An engaged group starts improving the business itself, and keeps going after week 12.
Built on four values, in this order
Inside a session
Your owner tells each person, one by one, that they have been handpicked. Then the group meets every week, same day, same time. These are the rituals that make it work.
Each person commits to one act for a colleague, the team or a customer, and reports back next week.
The group names the colleague who did most for the heart of the business, with a running tally to the final award.
The person behind the role: a hard moment, someone they admire. Colleagues start to really know each other.
Each person hears, from every colleague, the strength they bring to the team and the one thing to work on.
What to keep doing, what to improve, why it matters, the main action and who will support them.
Ideas to improve systems, products and the customer experience, owned by the people who do the work.
The next leaders are invited in and given real responsibility.
Members run the session themselves. The coach steps back; the group leads.
Plus one-to-one coaching between sessions, and the minutes in everyone’s inbox within 48 hours, so nothing agreed is forgotten.
The 12 weeks
The coach leads at first. By the last weeks the group runs its own sessions. The survey tells you what moved.
Before week 1
The company-wide survey, the results that matter to you, and the handpicked group, each personally invited.
Weeks 1–3
Leadership Acts begin, the first Peer Reward and Recognition, the first stories. The group learns how the sessions run.
Weeks 4–6
The Round Table and Personal Growth Road Maps: honest feedback and personal goals. The halfway survey shows what has moved.
Weeks 7–9
Brain Acts bring ideas to improve the business. Emerging Leaders are invited in, and members start to chair.
Weeks 10–12
The group runs its own sessions, presents its summary to leadership and names its most valuable leader. The final survey measures the change.
Every week: Leadership Acts delivered, recognition given, minutes shared.
What a Leadership Act looks like
Nobody waits for permission or a budget. Each person picks an act, does it and reports back. Twelve people, twelve weeks: up to 144 things that make work better.

What we believe
Engagement is a human thing before it is a business thing. These are the principles the program, and our coaches, hold to.
See people as people before you see them as workers. Everything else starts here.
Nobody engages while they are struggling. Wellbeing comes first, for everyone, all the time.
Engagement runs on trust. Build it, and watch engagement grow on its own.
Engaged leaders spread it. Engagement starts at the top table.
Open and candid, always. It breaks down walls and ends misunderstandings.
Everyone is different. Those differences are what make a company unique.
People need a company that acts the way it says it will, every day.
Fairness is trust’s partner. Teams form far faster where people are treated fairly.
Put people before numbers, and the numbers change.
Twelve weeks from now
What we work towards with every group. The survey shows how far your company moved.
| Area | Today | What we work towards |
|---|---|---|
| Effort | What’s asked, and no more | The extra mile, given freely |
| Ownership | The owner worries; everyone else waits | People act like it’s their business |
| Recognition | Once a year, at appraisal | From colleagues, every week |
| Ideas | Kept to themselves | Brought, owned and acted on |
| Departments | Know what each other does | Know who each other are |
| Leaders | A few, carrying everyone | Leadership in every seat |
| Your score | A guess | Measured three times, moving |

No. There are no lectures. Every session is action: commitments made, reported and recognised by colleagues, week after week, at work. That is why it lasts.
A handpicked group of 5 to 12 of your people, chosen with you: usually a mix of levels and departments, including people others listen to. Each is told personally that they have been handpicked.
Through what they do. Every week each member carries out a Leadership Act for colleagues, a team or customers, so the effect spreads well beyond the room. The survey measures the whole company, not just the group.
With an engagement survey for everyone in the company, before the program starts, halfway and at the end. Only “strongly agree” counts as engaged, so the score shows real commitment, not politeness.
Yes, and we recommend it. Create your company survey on this page, send the link to your people and see your score for free. A coach can talk you through it.
Adding a name is optional, and the survey says clearly who can see it. Results only appear once at least three people have answered.
One session of 60 to 90 minutes a week, on the same day and time, plus each person’s Leadership Act during the week.
The MasterCLASS uses the Engage & Grow Group Activation System, delivered by ActionCOACH coaches. At ActionCOACH TNPY it is run by Aakash Ak Chopra and Sunil Sethia.
The habits keep going: the acts, the recognition, the honest conversations. You can run a second group with new people, or continue with leadership coaching. Your coach will suggest the right next step.
The fee is on request and depends on the size of the group. The company survey is free.
