Our Approach

We understand the fast-paced dynamics of film and TV production, where tight schedules, strict budgets, and the complexities of managing people intersect. No matter the size of your production, there are always challenges—and in the mix are the people who make it all happen.

At Talent Trust, we focus on the people side of production. By listening to cast and crew before concerns become problems, we help create a positive and proactive way of managing issues. Our tailored surveys allow us to pick up signals down the pipeline, resolving challenges in real-time so that your team feels heard, valued, and supported.

For projects with multiple episodes or long production schedules, we offer the flexibility to survey each ‘block.’ This approach provides real-time insights into evolving dynamics within your team, helping you detect and address issues early while maintaining compliance with regulatory and industry standards.

With growing demands for compliance, production companies often feel stretched thin. Talent Trust takes the pressure off by using live data to identify what’s working, where your team needs support, and where resources should be focused. We give you the headspace to ensure production runs smoothly—keeping your people at the heart of every success.

ADVANTAGES

OF OUTSOURCING

Trust And Confidentiality

It’s easy to assume that a tight-knit team feels comfortable speaking up, but human nature often tells a different story. Even in the friendliest environments, people may hesitate to voice concerns—they don’t want to be seen as a bother or add stress to the group. Talent Trust steps in as an impartial, independent partner, ensuring feedback is collected with complete anonymity.

Our approach takes the sting out of comments and turns them into actionable insights. By sanitising feedback before it reaches you, we remove identifying details, creating a safe space for honesty and ensuring confidentiality. This not only encourages openness but also makes addressing concerns more objective and less personal—building trust while driving meaningful change.

Specialised Expertise

Analysing complex data is our expertise. At Talent Trust, we excel at identifying subtle stressors and patterns that might go unnoticed. Our skill lies in translating percentages and numbers into a clear, unbiased narrative that highlights key areas for improvement. With years of experience and a focus on people-centric solutions, we help you make sense of the data, empowering you to create a more supportive and effective workplace.

Dedicated Focus

At Talent Trust, this is more than just work—it’s our passion. We dedicate our full attention to every survey, meticulously designing and analysing the data to ensure it’s both precise and actionable. By entrusting your data needs to specialists who live and breathe analysis, you gain insights that truly make a difference.

Turning Complexity Into Clarity

The complexity of data within film and TV production can be daunting. Outsourcing to Talent Trust means you're not just getting data collected; you're gaining clear, understandable insights tailored to drive improvements in your productions. Our professional analysis transforms complex data sets into strategic knowledge, empowering your decision-making process.

Surveys For Any Production

Each film and TV project faces unique challenges, from long shoot durations to complex on-set dynamics. We address these with surveys tailored to each phase of production, from pre-production to post-production. This comprehensive approach captures essential feedback to foster team collaboration and efficiently manage time and budget constraints.

Our surveys encourage diverse viewpoints and teamwork, boosting performance and satisfaction across production crews. Post-project, we compile a detailed report with confidential, aggregated, and anonymised insights. These findings guide improvements in crew preparation, role distribution, and job satisfaction, and support broadcaster and studio initiatives for safer, more sustainable workplaces.

By benchmarking across production and studio levels, our insights drive continuous improvement, setting new standards in production excellence.

  • Our bespoke survey process focuses on upholding essential safety standards and preparations vital for each project. It is designed to verify that all involved—both cast and crew—are well-informed and confident about the procedures in place for their safety during the shoot. This approach helps maintain high levels of safety awareness without disclosing specific survey details.

  • Our mid-production pulse survey assesses the overall morale and well-being of the cast and crew. This ensures that you are continuously understanding the impacts of your common production challenges, such as extended hours and the demands of the work environment, on team spirit and performance.

  • After the shoot has concluded, we will administer a comprehensive survey to the crew and cast, providing us with valuable insights into the entire production, show, or episode.

    This survey serves as the foundation for creating a tailored report and actionable insights.

Neglecting safety on a film set not only leads to injuries,

but can also result in fatalities.

Mitigating Legal Risks and Ensuring Health and Safety for cast and crew are paramount concerns in any production, whether it's for film, TV, or advertising.

Long working hours, physically demanding tasks, and exposure to hazardous materials can impact team cohesion, performance, and overall safety.
