Meeting development needs

Developing people at work pays clear dividends in terms of increased productivity, higher individual engagement and reduced turnover. Yet few employers take a really structured approach to investing in people. This involves paying attention to induction and the ongoing development of technical, behavioural and management skills.

Having identified your training and development needs I can provide training for specific topics, including leadership and management development and work with you to meet particular technical skill requirements.

I can also work with you to develop career ladders within your organisation, which specify the skills requirements of roles at different levels.

You can use such ‘competency frameworks’ in recruitment, promotion decisions as well as helping people to identify their individual development needs.

Coaching

Unlike training, which aims to give people information and skills they can then apply, coaching aims to work with people and teams to help them identify how they can improve their performance at work themselves. It’s about helping people work out answers and approaches to their issues, then motivating them to act.

I can coach managers and employees at all levels to deliver exceptional results by giving them the time, structure and tools to unblock problems, apply their skills and talents and to reflect on what works in practice. I also work with teams in a similar fashion, helping them to focus on their agenda and to increase their team effectiveness.
