Learning shouldn’t just tick boxes. It should change behaviour.

 

Totem Learning was founded by a team of behavioural scientists, game designers, and digital learning experts who believed learning should be more than just content delivery. Since 2012, we’ve helped companies like Amazon, Mars, and National Express turn complex challenges into measurable performance improvements - with immersive solutions grounded in psychology, not gimmicks.

Our Values

These values aren't a poster on a wall. They're how we show up in projects, conversations, and decisions - every day.

Curiosity

We ask why before we ask how - because we’re not here to deliver a thing, we’re here to solve the right problem.

Craft

We care deeply about what we build. From conversation flow to visual polish, we sweat the details that make experiences work.

Challenge

We don’t nod along. We ask the tough questions and push for better -because that’s what partners do.

Partnership

We’re not a vendor. We build with you, not just for you. Collaboration is baked into everything we do.

Transparency

No mystery. No smoke and mirrors. From pricing to process, we believe trust starts with openness.

 

People, not projects

We’re not here to deliver and disappear. We believe in working shoulder to shoulder - with clarity, honesty, and a deep respect for the people behind the brief.

Our people are awesome. Let’s work together to make your people awesome too.
