TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES

Forward Thinking and Lifetime Learning

Our Approach

Proactive organizations require innovative approaches to identify training and development needs and implement solutions.  Our aim is to assist organisations to closely address their business needs and that any training and development undertaken should add value to the business particularly with respect to efficiency, productivity and profitability as well as enhancing individual skills and knowledge.  We can assist with the development and implementation of:-

• A Training and Development Strategic Plan to address training and development issues emanating from the Business Plan.  This enables organizations to focus on solutions which meet the changing needs of the business.
• Career planning programmes to assist individual development and improve your company’s skill base.
• Appraisal processes including 360 degree appraisals.
• A Training Action Plan for each individual.
• The introduction of Personal Development Plans for all staff.

360 Degree Appraisals

We believe that this technique is the most exciting development in the field of performance management.  The true value of 360 degree appraisals is that they expose the nature of our behaviour within the context of working relationships.  They challenge us to accept that we may behave differently to different people.  In essence, feedback is obtained on an individual from peers, subordinates and the individual’s manager.  This approach fits comfortably into the latest trends in leadership and strategies such as empowerment, self-responsibility and teamwork.  The data is normally collected through the completion of questionnaires either in paper or electronic format.  A report is produced for each individual which summarises the ratings given by the individual and their colleagues and provides the basis for subsequent discussion as well as identifying training and development needs.
