This tool will guide you through a process so you will be able to identify operational performance in terms of efficiency, reliability, service, sales etc as well as measuring employee satisfaction levels, morale issues and frustrations. You will be able to easily identify both positive and negative outcomes and behaviour, and produce a balanced, practical profile so you can see at glance what action you need to take to make significant improvement to performance and staff morale. The tool will provide you with performance measurement and a staff satisfaction measure, and will give you a choice of actions that can be taken to apply the improvements that you require to make your business succeed.

Executive coaching is a powerful tool to assist busy Chief Executives and Senior Managers.

You are able to book yourself time with a skilled coach and enjoy the luxury of sharing your problems. Your coach will not give you answers, nor will he or she run your company for you. What your coach will do is listen, understand, facilitate, open up ideas and help you gain clarity so that you are able to make the right decisions because you have looked at the problem from all of the appropriate angles.

You have the opportunity to discuss operational problems, people issues, employee motivation, reorganisation, and a wide range of topics chosen by you.

Managers and team leaders enjoy an event where they learn how to be focused in leading their teams with the emphasis on customer focus. The trainer helps them with leadership skills, customer service skills, linking to customer service standards and competencies and then gives ideas and techniques for passing on skills and enthusiasm to their employees.
