Employer of Choice

The 'Sunday Times Top 100 Companies to Work For' annual survey is fast becoming the benchmark for the attractiveness of an organisation. The reasoning is that attracting, developing and retaining the best talent is the natural strategy for increasing success for the good of all.

Add to this the fact that over the past 5 years, the best companies (as voted for by their employees) would have earned an investor a compounded annual rate of 12.1% as compared with a 5.8% decline for the FTSE All-Share Index as a whole, and you have a compelling financial case for treating staff well and developing people in a focused way. Please contact us for ideas and to find out more.

If one can succeed, all can succeed

Is high achievement confined to a small number of people in your organisation? If so, you are probably losing substantial sums of money in lost performance. There is a reliable way of 'modelling' what the high achievers do, and spreading the key aspects to anyone or everyone as you choose.

Influencing

Imagine two people having a heated discussion. After a while, person B leaves looking disgruntled, and person A remains looking satisfied. Who's won?

The answer is probably neither! Win-win working depends on applying courage and consideration to any situation. The consequences of not doing so will show up sooner or later. Also the question has to be asked; "what value resulted from this particular outcome?". Often the answer is one of damage. Learn how to do better with anyone - consistently.

Kommunikation

Communication with a capital K is frequently the unplanned result of what started as a good intention. The key to understanding this is that everyone has their unique way of interpreting information.

Do you know the top 10 reasons for this? The costs are usually invisible until later, but affect everyone. There is a way to receive a 1 day focus and shift on this.

Value Based Working
