YakTrak + GRIST: A new era of people development

YakTrak and GRIST have joined forces to bring a more structured, data-driven approach to people development, capability development, and compliance. Leaders can now track coaching effectiveness, gain real-time insights, and take proactive steps to develop their teams and ensure compliance.

“As leaders, we track NPS, CSAT, and sales, but without visibility into the behaviours and development activities driving those results, we’re left guessing. That’s what YakTrak provides—real clarity on what’s happening in development, learning, and compliance, so leaders can make smarter, faster decisions.” Brad Thomas, Co-Founder of YakTrak

This partnership ensures that capability development is fully visible and measurable—leaders can track what’s happening, assess its impact, and adjust in real time. Whether you’re looking to improve compliance, accelerate onboarding, or build high-performing teams, this partnership delivers clarity, structure, and actionable insights.

What is GRIST & how does it help?

GRIST is a leader in behavioural change and capability development, helping organisations define what ‘great’ leadership, performance, and development look like.

With over 30 years of expertise, GRIST has developed micro-behaviours—small, repeatable actions that build capability and drive real performance improvements.

By integrating GRIST’s structured behavioural frameworks with YakTrak’s AI-powered coaching insights, organisations can:

  1. Define and embed effective development behaviours that drive measurable results
  2. Develop leaders through structured learning methodologies
  3. Improve employee engagement and performance by focusing on repeatable, high-impact actions
  4. Align development strategies with business objectives, ensuring lasting change

With GRIST, leaders don’t just track development—they understand, refine, and enhance the quality of learning and leadership habits that drive team success.
