LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

So many people managers have progressed through their area of expertise, only to find themselves in a position where they’re responsible for leading and inspiring others with no formal management or leadership training! It is no wonder then, that the majority of leaders we come across are apprehensive about managing flexible workers. We provide leadership development by working with your leaders either one on one or in a group / workshop setting to support their transformation from managers to coaches, primed to get the best out of their people and to manage flexibility with confidence.

HERE’S WHAT WE DO

  • One-on-one leadership coaching / training
  • Group training workshops with leaders
  • Executive Team support

Or if it’s a more ongoing, holistic approach your leadership team is ready for, we are approved facilitators of The Breakthrough Company’s Active Management Program – which has been described as a “down to earth course” that provides an excellent framework for direct coaching conversations and learning to take place, providing targeted training to business owners and their teams in SME businesses.

RECRUIT THE BEST

It’s culture fit that counts. We make a point of understanding your company culture to get a clear idea of your parameters around flexibility for each role. This means we can reach people who sit outside the boxes of ‘full time’ or ‘part time’ to get the best person for the job. All the while, helping you build your employer brand.

We use a combination approach for recruitment, tapping into our database and networks, and using the latest in ‘search’ techniques, to target talent you otherwise wouldn’t reach, across a broad range of roles and industries.

We also carry out Reference Checks and Ability and Psychometric Testing, so you can be confident in your decision to hire.
