Talent Review

How do your team members measure up when it comes to their performance and potential? Analyzing your team can be a useful tool when formulating your strategy, creating development plans, or even to determine incentives. A talent review allows managers to see the big picture and make those important decisions that affect their team.

Succession Planning

When a key employee leaves unexpectedly, performance can decrease. Preparation and planning is critical to prevent loss of productivity for an extended period of time. Succession planning is the process for identifying and developing people internally. More than just determining who is “next in line,” our team will assist you in establishing a pipeline of experienced and capable employees ready to assume roles or responsibilities when they become available.

Change Management

Going through an organizational change? Is your department restructuring? The steps managers take in the initial phases of the process are vital to a successful outcome. We will guide you through the transition with the relevant HR departments to ensure your transition goals are achieved.

Coaching

Do you have a high performing supervisor in your area with behaviors that might prevent them from progressing to the next level in their career? Some managers have a trait or characteristic that might prevent their team from achieving great results. Using assessments and one-on-one coaching, we help managers create self-awareness and employ practical strategies to achieve their goals.

Customized Training

The essential skills and knowledge for most positions are learnable, but those may be different between departments. We design and customize interactive educational experiences tailored specifically to your departmental needs. A needs analysis is conducted before the session is delivered to ensure that specific issues are addressed.
