"I’m not exaggerating when I say that working with Curium has changed my world in such a positive way."

Overview

Scarlet is a paralegal at a UK law firm that specialises in insurance claims. She’s always been a high flyer and joined the firm after graduating with a first-class degree. But, just 18 months into her new job, she felt disillusioned. Scarlet’s role involves servicing customers who had been in car accidents where their insurance claim was in dispute.

Although she was part of a small, specialist team, she felt isolated and disengaged, instead of like she was adding value and putting her skills to good use.

So much so, she decided that neither the company nor a career in law were right for her. Instead, she decided to pursue a different dream and promptly lined up a new job.

The Start of Positive Change

Halfway through her notice period, Curium Solutions was appointed to help transform the part of the firm that Scarlet worked in. Curium was asked to help the firm gain control of the high volume of claims they were dealing with: they wanted a simple way of understanding how complex each claim would be and how long each would take to resolve, so they could resource it in the best way.

This was a new way of working, so as well as redesigning their back office, Curium’s priority was to make sure everyone felt engaged, positive and part of the transformation. To help this, Curium coached team managers to get the best out of their teams and, almost overnight, Scarlet started to feel happier. She enjoyed the clarity and focus of the new way of doing things and felt like she was putting her degree skills to good use.

More than that, she loved her new team culture and decided that she didn’t want a career change after all. She retracted her notice and helped the firm to embed and sustain the changes in their back office.

Scarlet said: “At the point of resigning, project Curium came in. Never in a million years did I think it would have the effect that it has. I’m not exaggerating when I say that it has changed my world upside down in such a positive way.”
