Culture and Values
It has often been said, and proven, that value driven organisations
are the most successful. The old adage of "hire for attitude,
train for skills", is vitally important. But how do you
define and measure what attitude you would like people to
have?
We can help you:
- Define your values – what is important to you
as a business? What image would you like to portray internally
and externally as to what you stand for? We can do an analysis that
allows us to tap into how people feel about the culture at present,
and what improvements, if any, could be made.
- Implement these into the
business - through workshopping and facilitation.
- Assess how they
are being ‘lived’ in an organisation
and keep a regular track of individual attitude and happiness
at work through the performance appraisals.
Values Audit
One-on-one discussions with people about how they see identified
others (often owners and senior managers of the business) living
in accordance with the defined Values.
The discussion follows a format but is often broad ranging, with
room for people to say whatever they wish and for either party
to seek clarification and additional information.
A summary report is provided and individual feedback can be given.
Uses
- Where Values have been defined, to get peoples' perceptions
of whether they are being 'lived' and therefore whether they
are important and meaningful
- A preliminary review prior to implementing Appraisals
around the Values
- In addition to a strategy workshop where Values and
Culture are discussed.
The unstructured nature of this discussion allows more information
to be gained than is generally possible using the questionnaire
format. |
Climate Survey
A paper based questionnaire completed by individuals who are asked
to rate how strongly they agree or disagree with several statements
about an area, for example communication. (Questionnaire
can be named or anonymous.)
This is a highly structured questionnaire with little room for
clarification or additional comment. A report presenting
the results in graphic format is provided.
Uses
- Benchmarking of climate (for example before and after
a change)
- Understand whether people see the Values as important
and/or meaningful
- To identify and select Values that are important
to people and may become Values of the business.
Where many people are to be surveyed this Survey is more cost
effective than a one-on-one discussion however the depth of information
obtained is less. |
Organisational Structure
Looking for ways of structuring the business?
Not sure how to go about restructuring or defining positions?
Give us a call, we help in defining exactly who should go where, and what the business structure should look like.
Leadership development
Developing leaders to be resilient and more confident in the way they deal with people is extremely important, particularly at the moment. Business carries on and the day to day operations and leadership of teams is of utmost importance. We develop, mentor and train leaders to be more effective, by understanding themselves first, their strengths and developmental areas before we look at individual members of their teams.

"I just wanted to thank you very much for your insightfulness and assistance last week. I really appreciated your help, in what I have found to be an ongoing frustrating situation. Thanks to you, I clearly see the situation in a completely different light." |
This includes what motivates them, giving them a more holistic understanding of the individual. For those that are struggling a little with performance management issues to do with staff that are particularly difficult, we provide mediation and guidelines from both an industrial relations point of view and what to do next.
