Consulting/Coaching Solutions
 

Team Review: A Team Review consists of one-on-one interviews with an assigned Team Facilitator and will identify what is working well in the organisation and should not be changed as well as what is not working well or needs changing or improving. Areas identified will include organisational structure, processes or procedures as well as communication practices and behavioural challenges.
 

Performance Coaching: This service is an invaluable tool in developing and supporting managers, supervisors and individual team members. Regular coaching of the whole team is also a great way to identify and resolve small issues before they become big ones, achieve continuous improvement, enhance personal and collective responsibility and build a culture of high performance.

 

Human Resource Services Consultations: The recruitment and integration of new team members and departures of existing team members are critical stages in the development of a high performing team. We can add greater professionalism, help improve the outcomes and lighten the load for managers in the following areas:
 

Recruitment: We are assisting more and more of our clients with the initial recruitment of new team members. This enables them to protect their time for high priority tasks, keep customer service uninterrupted and it provides a high quality process for applicants.

Selection: Having one of our consultants on the selection panel often makes the selection process easier, more professional and with better outcomes.
 

Induction: Sometimes the best candidates don't stay because their induction is inadequate. We can help design or improve this process and provide coaching sessions to help ensure inductee job satisfaction and retention.
 

Job Descriptions: We all know the importance of job descriptions but sometimes just don't get around to doing them or updating them. Our consultants can lighten your load in this area and provide you with state-of-the-art and user friendly job descriptions that are of practical value to you and the individual team members.
 

Performance Appraisals / Reviews: Without performance appraisals / reviews it can be difficult to hold staff accountable for their performance, maintain standards, and to achieve continuous improvement throughout the whole team. Team members on probation may slip through and performance issues may also be overlooked.
 

A well conducted performance appraisal / review can have a significant positive effect on both team members' performance and on their morale. However a poorly run performance appraisal may end in conflict. Having appraisal sessions professionally facilitated will likely improve both the process and the outcomes.
 

Exit Interviews: When team members leave they often take a wealth of knowledge about the strengths and weaknesses of the organisation with them and sometimes don't reveal their true reasons for leaving. Collecting this information is invaluable and is often best done by someone who is professional and independent of the business.

 

Meeting Solutions

Meetings enable organisations to effectively manage their internal communication. Without meetings communication is often absent, usually one-way, sometimes unplanned and poorly executed, and can even be destructive.
 

Well run meetings can inform, empower, unite, and be the most valuable activity conducted within the organisation. Poorly run meetings can disempower, demotivate and not only be a waste of time and money but can be even be counter productive. Our professional meeting facilitators can ensure that your meetings (whether they be partnership, management, department, or full team) run well, achieve better outcomes and free team leaders up to participate actively in the decision making and/or encourage other team members to participate and lead more.

 

Mediation/Conflict Resolution Solutions

When well managed and constructively worked through, conflict can greatly strengthen processes, practices and relationships. When left to fester or if poorly managed, conflict can bring down an organisation.
 

Using a professional mediator can ensure that the resolution process is constructive, produces positive outcomes, that there is 'true communication' and all parties feel validated, listened to and resolved. Where there has been emotional damage this can also significantly help the healing process.
