SELECTION TOOL DEVELOPMENT
Associate selection is a critical function in an organization used to engage the human capital necessary to reach its business objectives. Studies show that using an interview strategy which connects recruiting profiles & selection processes to business goals increases the rate of hiring success, associate tenure and, as a result, increases customer satisfaction and shareholder value.
After defining successful performance for all core tasks of each job function, we create behavioral selection tools and processes that enable our business partners to accurately and objectively assess potential job candidates in relation to the job he or she will be expected to perform..

COACHING TOOL DEVELOPMENT
Routine and targeted performance-based feedback is a critical component of associate satisfaction. In response, many organizations require leaders to communicate and behave as coaches in the workplace in order to enhance performance and motivation, and drive business results. However, it’s not enough to ‘cheer’ using the ‘atta-boy/girl’ approach. Associates desire to know specific performance attributes that that they should continue as well as those which require redirection.
Front-line leaders must assess actual associate performance against objectively defined task-based performance expectations, then, using targeted feedback tools and techniques, reinforce positive aspects of performance and provide guidance for those needing improvement in a manner that increases self-confidence and commitment. We assist our partners in creating iterative coaching and summative performance evaluation tools and procedures so that optimum performance is achieved, and more importantly, sustained.

PERFORMANCE TOOL DEVELOPMENT
Many managers and companies fall short of effectively explaining the intent and executing the expected outcomes of the performance review process to its associates. In response, it is not surprising that associates can perceive the process as confrontational and anxiety provoking. If associates do not feel they are participants in a performance review process that will help to develop them, they may not receive and effectively use the feedback provided.
The performance review process provides an opportunity for the associate and the front-line leader to identify and acknowledge areas of strength and address opportunities for growth and development in a systematic and collaborative manner.

DEVELOPMENT INTERNAL TRAINING RESOURCES
To ensure that performance improvement results are sustained, we prepare and support our partners by transferring skills and knowledge to selected leaders and associates to build internal expertise. From the day we begin working with our partners, our goal is to educate the organization so that it can continue to experience the positive results of our work long after we are gone.
