From boutique beginnings to becoming a pioneering force in experiential learning and organisational development, ST8GE Group is rewriting the playbook for team building and corporate training, helping organisations transform not just how their teams work, but how they grow together.
As ST8GE celebrates its 11th anniversary, the company continues its commitment to delivering transformative, innovative, and inspiring bespoke services by blending psychology, creativity, and strategy, empowering clients to evolve and thrive. And this decade-long effort has been recognised with definitive accolades.
“Winning the HR Vendors of the Year awards is a deeply meaningful milestone for ST8GE,” affirms Claire Luk, Chief Transformation Officer, ST8GE.
“This recognition reflects the passion, creativity, and dedication of our team, who bring heart and excellence to every programme we deliver. Beyond an award, it is a celebration of trust, partnership, and impact that reminds us of our intention to inspire purposeful transformation and help individuals, leaders, and teams to perform, lead, and live with greater meaning.”
A long-lasting, impactful journey of growth
At the heart of ST8GE’s success is a clear philosophy: training and team building should be a transformative experience – serving as catalysts for genuine connection, deeper dialogue, and stronger collaboration that unlock potential and create sustainable impact long after the session ends.
In that sense, ST8GE’s approach goes far beyond fun activities or one-off events. It’s a curated journey that integrates psychology, expressive arts, and strategic thinking. Using tools like LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, Playmobil Pro®, Points of You®, and psychometric frameworks, every programme is designed as a live experience, blending immersive themes, professional production, and powerful dialogue. These elements help teams explore communication styles, strengths, and blind spots, while cultivating mindful, conscious, and values-driven growth that aligns people development with ESG and organisational purpose.
One standout initiative is ‘Mindful Leadership’, where ST8GE became the first in Hong Kong to integrate mindfulness with LEGO®, expressive arts, and psychodrama. This reimagines mindfulness as dynamic and inclusive, helping participants cultivate presence, emotional intelligence, and stronger collaboration through play, deep thinking, and conscious engagement.
“The outcomes have been exceptional,” shares Luk. “Leaders report greater trust, deeper communication, and significant improvements in engagement and wellbeing. Beyond enhancing teamwork, this initiative advances ESG and employee wellbeing goals, making mindfulness practical, inclusive, and transformative in today’s corporate world.”
People-powered innovation
ST8GE’s strength lies in its people. With a 100% staff retention rate and a multidisciplinary team of trainers, facilitators, artists, and psychologists, the company delivers programmes that resonate across cultures, industries, and learning styles. From frontline staff to C-suite executives, ST8GE empowers individuals to lead with confidence and clarity.
In response to evolving HR trends, ST8GE is embracing AI-driven learning design and analytics, hybrid engagement models, and ESG-focused consultancy. Strategic partnerships – such as with Roma Green Finance – enable ST8GE to deliver sustainability-aligned training that supports DEI, unconscious bias reduction, and cultural competence.
"Our team embraces ESG, DEI, and conscious leadership principles, ensuring that training aligns with global sustainability and social impact priorities," says Luk.
As ST8GE moves into the next stage of its journey, the company remains committed to driving greater transformation for clients, nurturing future-ready leaders, and creating sustainable impact across industries – solidifying its role as a trusted partner in shaping the future of corporate learning and development in Asia.
"By combining human insight, AI innovation, and ESG strategy, ST8GE continues to redefine the future of transformative learning and organisational development, sustaining our leadership as a transformational learning partner in Asia," emphasises Luk.
