STAFF DEVELOPMENT

We recognise that moving staff towards a common goal, particularly in times of change, can be a difficult task.

All our staff development programmes, whatever their focus, are developed with the client organisation's individual needs and desired outcomes at the fore. We consult with the managers or co-ordinators at every stage of the programme, providing valuable feedback and truly flexible delivery.

We are able to offer training programmes that encompass, for example:

• Team building
• Change management
• Improving organisational effectiveness through 'Developing Emotionally Literate Organisations'
• Presentation skills
• Work-life balance and stress management

We understand that it is not always practical or cost effective for external providers to deliver training in organisations on an ongoing basis. We have precedents, in Britain and abroad where we have produced high quality, bespoke, training materials to be delivered by in-house trainers or facilitators.

In addition to training delivery, we are able to offer full conference management.

TEAM BUILDING
Many organisations have recognised the benefits of developing cohesive teams in order to deliver results. Our approach to team building focuses on practical activities which illustrate the most important element in any team - communication. We also include aspects of our 'Developing Emotionally Literate Organisations' programme which enables people to understand themselves and others better.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT
People resist change, often because they fear what it holds for them. People who can recognise this in themselves and others and seek solutions objectively, will be far more open to change and will be more effective throughout the change process.

We recognise that the capacity to cope with change in the work place is greatly affected by people's levels of emotional literacy. Our change management training and consultancy services include significant elements of our 'Developing Emotionally Literate Organisations' programme as well as client specific information.

PRESENTATION SKILLS
It is important that anyone expected to deliver presentations, feels confident in doing so. Their confidence will result in a greater level of engagement from the audience and, as a result, the time will be more productive for all involved. Our presentation skills training looks at how to make the presentation effective in terms of content and delivery as well as the practical elements of constructing and using an engaging PowerPoint presentation.

WORK-LIFE BALANCE AND STRESS MANAGEMENT
Most organisations recognise that staff are more productive when they are managing their stress effectively. Creating a good balance between work and life outside work is a challenge which we all face every day. This balance will be different for every-one. Through our work-life balance and stress management training we aim to help people identify a workable balance for them and introduce practical stress relief methods.
