We measure and build relational intelligence at work
We help leaders see whether their teams hold together under pressure, and strengthen what the diagnostic reveals.
most organisations measure engagement. Few can see what happens between people.
What your people data doesn't show
Your organisation can have capable people and a clear strategy and still underperform. What often makes the difference sits between people: whether teams raise problems early, challenge each other constructively, share what they know and hold a shared direction when priorities compete. Hybrid work, AI tools and constant change are reshaping exactly these interactions, and AI is taking over more of the junior work through which colleagues used to learn from each other. Yet because most people measures ask individuals about their own experience, this layer rarely shows up in the results, until it shows up in productivity, innovation and retention.
employees feel disconnected from colleagues.
80%
of leaders, managers and workers worry that colleagues are using AI to appear more productive than they actually are.
46%
of Gen Z employees say they prefer asking AI about work-related questions rather than their colleagues or managers.
We start by measuring what usually stays out of view: how people in a team work together, not only how each of them feels. We then work with teams on what the diagnostic reveals, through workshops built around everyday work rather than one-off training. Leaders come away with an audit of where their teams stand and a clear plan for what to do next.
Check Where Your Organisation Stands
We show where collaboration holds and where it is breaking down. Our diagnostic, designed for your organisation and combining a survey with in-depth interviews, looks at teams, not just individuals: trust, how openly problems are raised, how conflict is handled and where the barriers to collaboration lie. You get a clear picture of what supports or blocks performance. Reach out to discuss a diagnostic.
Build Relational Intelligence at Work
Our experiential workshops help employees and leaders practise the everyday behaviours that build trust, make disagreement constructive and strengthen how teams work as one. Workshop series are shaped by what the diagnostic shows and built around real work rather than one-off training. Book us for a webinar, workshop series, or an introductory session.
Turn Insight into Action
We close with a report that gives leaders two things: an audit of where their teams stand and a manual for what to do next, from team practices to the way work is organised. We measure again after the workshops, so you can see what has changed.

At Oneness UP, we help leaders measure and build relational intelligence at work. We treat it not as the sum of individual competencies, but as a property of the relationships within a team, one that shapes whether the team holds together under pressure and change.
Relational intelligence at work shows up in five dimensions that can be observed and measured at team level:
- Shared identity: the extent to which team members see themselves as one unit rather than separate groups.
- Mutual trust: the willingness to rely on one another without additional checks.
- Relational openness: the tendency to raise problems, doubts and differing views early.
- Joint ownership: a shared sense of responsibility for team outcomes, not only for one’s own tasks.
- Active support:
the readiness to offer help unprompted, before it is requested.
Each can be developed and measured.

Iga Pilewska
CEO & Founder
Iga Pilewska is a sociologist and workplace researcher focused on what happens between people at work. She has spent ten years as an analyst: first in fintech, then in risk technology, where the work was to find what could go wrong before it did, and later at Gartner as Senior Principal, Research. There she researched the future of work and strategic workforce planning, led the qualitative strand of research on sustainable employee performance, based on around 100 in-depth interviews, and advised senior HR leaders across global organisations. Internally, she led an employee connection initiative for Gartner’s HR research and advisory unit of more than 200 people across the UK, the US and India, including workshops in London and Washington. Across client organisations and inside her own, she kept seeing the same gap: individual experience was measured extensively, while the quality of the relationships through which work actually happens was much harder to see. That gap led her to found Oneness UP, where she measures and strengthens relational intelligence at work, combining organisational diagnostics with interventions that change how teams work together. Iga holds an MSc in Sociology from the London School of Economics and is a Harvard Business Review–published author.
