Why Organisations Need to Invest in Structured, Reflective 1:1s Like ARCA+

Most organisations think their check-ins, 1:1s and supervision are 'good enough.' But they don’t realise what they’re missing until disengagement, misalignment, or burnout show up in real, costly ways.

ARCA+ is built on the evidence that professional 1:1s are one of the most powerful and underused levers for organisational effectiveness, leadership confidence, and employee wellbeing.

The Truth

• $144,500 per day. That’s what executives in large organisations estimate they lose due to soft skills gaps, like poor communication, lack of trust, and disengagement (Havard Business Review).

• 70% of the variance in employee engagement comes down to one factor: the employee’s direct manager (Gallup).

• Employees without regular 1:1s are 4x more likely to be disengaged and 2x more likely to view leadership unfavourably (Havard Buisness Review).

• $10 billion per year is lost in Australia due to stress-related absenteeism directly linked to poor leadership (Forbes Australia).

• $6 billion annually is lost due to low psychosocial safety from presenteeism and absenteeism (Safe Work Australia).

• $10.9 billion per year is lost by employers due to untreated workplace mental health issues (SmartCompany).

The Case for Commitment

Organisations can’t afford to treat 1:1s as optional, informal, or leader-dependent. When employee support varies based on personality or pressure, it creates inconsistency, risk, and blind spots and waiting until disengagement, burnout, or turnover forces you to act is simply too late. ARCA+ transforms 1:1s from a missed opportunity into one of your most strategic assets.

The Hidden Costs of Poor or Inconsistent 1:1s

• Low trust and psychological safety

• Bottled-up frustrations and unresolved conflict

• Lack of clarity around growth, development, and performance

• Leaders unsure how to support or challenge their people

• Employees quietly burning out, with no safe space to speak up.

Engagement and Leadership Are Still Lagging

• Only 16% of Australian employees report being fully engaged at work — a drop from 18% the year prior (ADP Australia).

• Up to 70% of employee turnover is linked to poor management — not the job itself (RDL Management Consultants).

• Organisations recognised as 'Best Places to Work' outperform others by 12–14% in wellbeing, recognition, and job satisfaction (The Australian).

For organisations ready to build a culture of reflection, capability, and connection

In today’s complex and high-pressure environments, employees need more than task-focused supervision. Leaders need more than templates, and organisations need more than compliance.

ARCA+ offers a structured, scalable framework to embed meaningful, people-centred 1:1s across your teams. It supports psychological safety, reflection, and professional growth while aligning with organisational goals and quality standards. This is more than a framework — it’s a culture shift. One that helps your organisation to:

• Strengthen leadership consistency and confidence

• Support employee wellbeing and engagement through relational, safe conversations

• Build a learning culture that retains and grows your people

• Improve engagement, alignment, and performance at every level

• Meet compliance obligations without becoming compliance-driven.

Whether you're navigating organisational change, employee turnover, psychosocial risk, or strategic transformation, ARCA+ gives you the tools, language, and leadership rhythm to support your people and deliver on your mission.

Frequently Asked Questions - Organisational Pathways

What are ARCA+ packages?

ARCA+ packages offer various solutions tailored to different needs in licensing and services, focused on the individual employee, leader or organisation.

What is licensing for ARCA+

Licensing gives your organisation permission to access, use, and implement the ARCA+ framework and tools internally. It includes digital resources, support, and structured onboarding. Licensing ensures consistent, ethical, and effective use.

Can we start small and scale later?

Yes. Many organisations begin with the Foundation Package and add additional supports and training as momentum builds.

How does this support wellbeing and retention?

ARCA+ strengthens relational safety and helps leaders hold supportive, reflective, and structured conversations. This builds trust, reduces emotional load, and promotes early intervention which are key drivers of engagement, alignment and retention.

How long does implementation or ARCA+ take?

Yes. ARCA+ supports leaders in managing risk, wellbeing, and accountability in a documented, structured format, supporting your compliance while centring human connection.

Does this align with compliance and psychosocial safety legislation?

While most organisations begin embedding ARCA+ within 6–12 weeks, meaningful implementation takes time. Our Growth and Excellence packages include planning and guided support to ensure a sustainable rollout.

From experience, the deeper impact of ARCA+, such as cultural shift, leadership consistency, and reflective practice becoming embedded, typically around the 5-month mark, as teams gradually adopt and integrate the approach into everyday rhythms.

Can we brand the tools for our organisation?

Yes. Customisation options are available in Growth and Excellence packages.
