Professional growth for the whole human, at every level
Professional growth for the whole human. How Energage used Boon to drive engagement, retention, and productivity across all employee levels.
Five departments, one broken approach
Energage helps other companies build great workplace cultures, so the bar for their own employee experience was impossibly high. But behind the mission-driven brand, the reality was more complicated. With teams spanning Customer Service, Software Engineering, HR, Finance, and Sales, each department had distinct development needs that no single training program could address. Engineers wanted technical leadership skills. Sales reps needed help navigating difficult client conversations. Managers across the board were struggling to set actionable career goals with their reports.
The pressure was compounding. High performers were leaving because they did not see a growth path. Mid-level employees felt stuck. And HR was fielding requests for professional development that could not be solved with another all-hands webinar. Energage needed a solution flexible enough to serve every level and department, while reinforcing the culture-first values they sold to their own customers.
Coaching across every level
Energage launched Boon Scale with a deliberate cross-level strategy: 58% individual contributors, 31% managers, and 10% executives. Coaching covered the work challenges each person actually faced, from career goals to hard conversations.

Measurement & Reporting
“We tell our customers that culture starts with investing in people. We had to live that ourselves. Boon gave us a way to deliver personalized growth at a scale that actually worked for a company our size.”
A culture company that practices what it preaches
Over 18 months, Energage saw improvements in satisfaction, productivity, and coaching retention at every level.
Retention & Engagement
92% of employees who started coaching continued their relationships over the full 18-month program. The 98% satisfaction score was the highest of any development initiative in company history.
Productivity & Culture
A 35% increase in self-reported productivity and 37% improvement in workplace satisfaction demonstrated that investing in the whole person pays dividends across performance and culture.
“What surprised me most was how coaching connected the dots between personal well-being and professional performance. Employees were not just more productive. They were more present, more collaborative, and more invested in our mission.”
