OUR A P P R O A C H

It’s all about The People.

There are two things that all businesses have in common regardless of their size or sophistication: people and leadership. The current business environment clearly shows that something is breaking down. People are changing jobs at a record pace. Unemployment is still low and there are more openings than there are people to fill them. Companies are struggling to find the needed talent. Leadership cannot identify the root causes of job dissatisfaction and view it as a staff issue and not a leadership issue.

Many Human Resource departments are failing to keep up with the times, rigidly adhering to out-of-date policies and the cost of staff churn is not viewed beyond the context of what it takes to get someone to fill the seat. The rate of turnover and its associated cost is unknown.

What is needed is a true picture of your environment as seen through the eyes of all of the employees. We provide a safe environment for The People to talk openly and express their ideas, opinions and concerns. That level of candor is needed to help identify areas that can be improved. We’ll look at the organization’s leadership style and management methods and determine what impact these have on performance and retention. We'll work with your to develop meaningful KPIs on retention and job satisfaction.

We’ll also complete a health check that scores various aspects of your operation. Once all of the information is collected, we’ll deliver the “playbook” to you that outlines the processes, positions and talent you need to hit performance goals. You can use us, internal resources or other vendors to put the recommendations into motion. No matter what you choose we’ll be there to ensure a smooth handoff so that improvements can begin immediately.

“Outstanding leaders go out of the way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it’s amazing what they can accomplish.” – Sam Walton (Founder of Walmart and Sam’s Club)
